wild mustang
Untamed American horse
A wild mustang is a free-roaming horse of the American West, descended from horses brought by Spanish colonizers.
The phrase is technically redundant—mustang already means a wild or feral horse—but the modifier wild emphasizes the animal's untamed nature: Wild mustangs still roam parts of Nevada and Wyoming.
The image evokes rugged independence and the frontier spirit.
