This Is Not Wanchese
Search this blog and pull up a picture or two of Wanchese, my Shackleford stallion. Compare him to the horse above. The stallion in the picture is of pure western Spanish Mustang origin. Though the two look strikingly similar, their strains grew up separately many hundreds of miles apart, over several hundred years. Their Colonial Spanish breeding held true over all of that time and over all of that distance.
So who is he? (and who are his sire and dam?)
