Smooth, steady, dignified, resilient.....and nearly extinct. That is the connection between music with meaning and mustangs.
Irreplaceable yet nearly gone.
For several hundred years here in America the little Spanish horses transported the bodies of working people while their music transformed the spirit of working people.
I do no know anything about this lady. She appears to be of Indian descent. She is holding the most important instrument to come to the new world from Africa. Her dulcimer is an American adaptation of instruments likely to have German origin.
This is a picture of America--Red, Black And White. A blm mustang is also a picture of America.
Mixed blood, mixed origin--pure American. It is nauseating enough to see the established horse world denigrate the blm mustang, but it is much worse to see those of the Spanish mustang world do so.
We should know better.
