*Schleich Mustang Stallion

Mustangs
are also called “mestengos”. This comes from a Spanish word meaning
“wild, stray”. They were originally domesticated horses that the Spanish
brought to America by ship in the 16th century and that ran away once
in America. Since they found plenty of fodder on the fertile pastures
and had almost no natural predators except pumas, their numbers rapidly
increased. Wild Mustangs still roam the countryside to this day. They
are led by a brave herd stallion who protects his herd and is usually
the father of all the foals.
