mustangs

Western feral horses

Mustangs are wild or feral horses of the American West, descended from horses brought to the Americas by Spanish explorers.

They roam freely on public lands, particularly in states like Nevada and Wyoming, and have become powerful symbols of freedom and the frontier spirit.

The Ford Mustang, a sports car introduced in 1964, borrowed this imagery of speed and untamed energy.

In sports, Mustangs is a common team name, most notably for Southern Methodist University athletics.
