Navajo Mustangs:
The Navajo Reservation seems to hold a very special type of mustang unlike
any others... These horses are very isolated and protected, to a point,
depending on the value the family places on them. I have been able
to pick up a few via local horse traders and rescue efforts. These
little horses are very hardy, sturdy and handy... the conformation of many
is of Lusitano, Andalusian and Barb type. (See Sophie
and Cinder)
