Reader's Comments on the Mustang Horse
Added on Aug 12th, 2008
Mustangs are managed by BLM and all have a brand on their left neck. This will tell you the birth date and the id of the horse.
If you truly have a mustang you should have received papers from BLM that signify that you are in ownership of a Mustang. There are regulations related to how many owners a mustang can have and it's called 3 strikes. For more information on Mustangs please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustang_(horse)
There is a lot of information out there regarding these majestic animals. They can be very calm and very loving. My young girls are able to handle our 4 year old gelding without any problems and he follows them around the pasture much like a dog does.
But you have to work on gentling them the right way. Once they are secure with their surroundings and that you will protect them they can turn into wonderful additions to any herd.
