In Nevada we have a seemingly endless supply of mustangs. They make wonderful mountain horses if tamed properly. My old Roman nosed strawberry roan, Chewy, was the best rough country horse I ever sat on. He was a little mustang that wandered onto the place off the desert during a bad drought...and didn't want to go back out there where life was so hard after he spent a couple weeks of being fed and watered every day.

A friend sacked him and trained him to pack.

The only thing that spooked Chewy was dead fish...But that's another story...
