No such thing as pure Spanish in New Mexico, that is a myth. The Spanish had their children with indigenous women. Most of the women that came with Onate were Mestiza or Castiza women whose mothers or grandmothers were Nahua. Then came the intermixing with the Pueblos.

They are my brothers in the wild, I love them, USA should leave them there to multiply and be protective. Thanks for the documenting this horses.

The afternoon with the white stallion is one I'll always remember. They are beautiful, Joy, thank you.

So great to see American people taking well care of these beautiful horses. Thank you and cheers from Spain :)

That is very nice of you to take the time to say that. I appreciate it very much.

Thank you for taking the time to say comment--it means a lot to me. People who care about wild horses are some of the most decent people I've ever met.

There are some truly good human beings in this video. 60 years ago I saw hundreds of wild mustangs on 50 mile cattle round-ups in the desert hills of Nevada. I rode some. What impressed me was the incredible variety of colors that they came in; combinations of rare genes that few people have ever seen.

Thank you for bringing awareness to a species that can't speak for themselves.

Yes, there is enough food for all the horses to remain. The reason they claim there isn't, is because they want millions of cattle to be given grazing preference over the wild horse. It's not an issue of forage, but what species of animal they want to have the forage. Cattle makes them money, whereas live horses don't. Wild horse herds don't double every four years, they are not over-populated like they claim. Lies are told about the horses and their numbers, because the entire cattle vs. wild horse issue is all about money. They leave out that it's actually about their money-making cattle: to do this, they claim things about the horses that aren't true.

In response to Poopon--I understand your position. My family raised cattle and sheep in Montana. Wild horses represent the best in American spirit and domestic horses brought us out west and settled this country. This, to me, distinguishes horses from hogs. I've logged 100 plus hours in wild horse herds and haven't witnessed the destruction to the land you cite. I would have to see it first hand to support your views. I respect your stance and appreciate you taking time to write.

I cannot form the words to express how valuable mustangs are but there is one story that describes them perfectly. To quote Kaitie in the movie Flicka "The history of the west was written by the horse. Wherever a settler left his foot print there was a hoof print right beside it...We need to protect them for them, for they are the hope for some kind of living memory of what the promise of America used to be, and could be again" Mustangs and other wild horses BUILT America. We wouldn't have survived without a plow horse, a cow horse, pack horse, calvary horse, we wouldnt be who we are today without horses and they deserve to be treated as the veterans they are starting with the Mustang.

I don’t understand the reason for killing these amazing horses . Just exactly what have they done to warrant this. Is it the rancher wanting more and more grazing for the already over populated herds of cattle . Who’s land is this any way it surely doesn’t belong to the cattle ranchers is this not public land in which we all as Americans own . How is it that people that raise cattle have so much power that they dictate what animal gets to graze and live out it’s life on public land . These animals are wild just like the deer and elk do these horses kill your cattle I think not you fatten your cattle on public land how much do you pay to graze the free grasses is it pennies on the dollar. I say this why not leave the horses alone they do nothing to you what so ever. There is plenty of good land available to raise your cattle on but like most greedy people you have to destroy obstacles in your way so you can turn a big profit .God is watching you there is nothing you need to warrant the destruction of these beautiful animals you should be ashamed of your selves.

The Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary in South Dakota has a herd of the pure Spanish horses running on their 13.000 acres of prairies and canyons. These horses came from the Pryors. They also have a herd of the extremely rare "curlies", horses with curly coats and manes, just beautiful. Considering the BLM is currently going state by state, first in Montana, and now being fought in Wyoming, exterminating the wild horse herds. The herds are rounded up en masse, loaded onto trucks, and shipped to Canadian and Mexican slaughter houses. Mares, foals, stallions all crushed onto trucks and rail cars with no food or water for days to the horrors of the kill floors.

The wild herds of these beautiful horses must be saved for the nation. I don't know how feasible it would be, but here in Ireland we have the lovely Connemara pony, these ponies run semi wild over parts of Connemara, but are mostly owned by farmers. These ponies were originally from the Spanish Armada ships that were wrecked in a great storm. For the past 60 to 70 years the Irish government released a stallion (thoroughbred) called Little Heaven by Hyperion, to improve the breed, this greatly enhanced the Connemara, into a type bred for riding, Many great Show jumpers have come from these bloodlines, including The Great Stroller that was owned by Marian Coax and competed at Wembley and The white City, The Great DUNDRUM ridden By Tommy Wade, winning the high jump 7 feet 3 inches at the White City, and wining the Aga Khan Trophy for Ireland in Dublin, he was a small horse standing 15.1h.h. but could take on the best in show jumping, Blue Heaven another great performer. Would this work for some of these wonderful herds of horses, that their foals could be trained for use as riding horses and competition horses. Would it be possible to release a decent thoroughbred horse to improve the quality of these wild horses. This is just a idea. Thank you to all you wonderful people out there that are trying to save these horses. And to you government officials that are trying to destroy them, hang your heads in shame. While I am not stupid I know that at certain times you may have to cull old and inferm horses, this should be done with as little pain and as humanely as possible.

I don't understand your logic.

HI, I think the definition of save is tricky. There are a couple of reputable horse refuges that have shown interest in taking them. That would move them out of state, and I am against that. I honestly think the best thing is the limited housing expanding around the Cerbats. If it remains limited, the horses will be surrounded by non-cattle types--probably horse lovers. If too many houses go in, there's bound to be someone complaining. I need to go back up there and take a look.

There is not such thing as "native US horse", as the horses were introduced by europeans.

I wonder if anyone is interested in Louisiana's wild horses? I have never run across a reference to them, only to small bands of strayed animals gone feral. These look much like the wild herds you show, and have been locally known for generations. I have heard it said that they are remnants of the Spanish horses, either released or escaped, and some from shipwrecks. Spanish explorers certainly came through there. As a child I owned one, from the herds that run the Henderson Levee. They are beautiful, called Creole Ponies, or sometimes Levee Nags or Levee Horses. They are small, sturdy, fine featured and quick. They are very agile and make great cutting or trail ride horses. Mine, with her mother, was captured at about 5 days old. Mom was about 12, and never really tamed down. Most of them don't need to be shod, having very neat, sturdy hooves. The other herds live in the coastal marshes around Terrebonne Parish in South Louisiana. Many a fisherman or hunter has seen them start from the marsh grass at the sound of a boat motor and take to the water to escape, disappearing among the little swamp islands. I wish someone would check them out before its too late.

Winter Lion I have edited 20 minutes of a follow-up documentary, Last of the Spanish Mustangs 2...and know it will make you feel better. I focus on just the Cerbats and to be honest...and I bite my lip when I say this...the BLM has done a decent job with this herd and it is thriving without roundups. It will make you feel better. It did me.

Got one man is he great

Thank-you for this story. I love mustangs and could care less about the boo hoo ranchers, the cause of most of the mustang's problems. Rancher's rent the government land, that the mustang's roam, for a disgustingly low price, so the mustang must go. Also, yet again human cruelty to animals makes me disgusted and the government's "two faced" B S makes me sickened to be a part of the human race. Anyone who knows anything about American History should realize that "we" could not have "Conquered the Western States" without the horse. The Wild Horses should be revered, respected, and protected. I hope that your new film shows improvement in the handling and care of these majestic and noble animals.

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I have great friends who are ranchers, though, and we get along just fine. I joke to one that I am going to sneak a few mustangs onto his land. I hear you though...you make good points.

wherever I went there was my horse!!

My horse is still in the distance.

I have to ask.. At the beginning, around 0:44, there was a quick, split second shot of a woman? holding a bay horse and kicked it right in the gut? What exactly was that? Why would you put that in this show? Thanks.. I have 2 American Mustangs from Wyoming.. They are all an amazing 'breed' of animal.. So different than their cousins, the domestic horses... Sure wish more folks understood them and realized these horses belong to ALL of us... Awesome video, Thank you!

Good video hope these horses can be looked after and be Respected.

Amazing footage¸¸.•*¨*🐬 Awesome good job

thanks for sharing

Take care of the animals let the horses free again ever

Violence is not the answer

Wild horses need to be protected by people that care. The BlM only looks at the money for them. Animals were not put on this earth to be harmed. They are smart and should be left alone. It is the humans who are at fault.

Montana is where Cloud lives and flint and bolder

Your forgetting the 40,000 wild horses in Nevada, which has the highest population of wild Mustangs in the country.

There are Spanish Mustangs still in Northern New Mexico. Monero Mustangs still has some of them as BLM is removing NM wild horses. Contact Sandi Claypool of Monero Mustnags in Tierra Amarilla, NM. These horses need help and land to survive into the future on. MKW

Beautiful Thank you

The only thing that bothered me about this was the abundance of horse sound files. Horses don't whinny that often and can't when they rear up. Stallions are the more vocal but even then it's not very often. The whinny and neigh is a call to others like a wolf's howl. A nicker is a greeting. Otherwise this was a lovely piece. Thank you for making this.

+gothicangelnico I did this 11 years ago...I did use some effects for this television production. The version now on my website...www.lenjproductions.com....doesn't have this. It's 40 minutes of all natural sound and more connecting with Cerbats--and my first ever colt. Cheap at just $6.99--priced for horse lovers. However, I can say that many of the sounds were natural in the first version that you see above. Cerbats will whinny when they rise, especially just before evening...maybe it depends on how high they rise? Thanks for the comments.

@@Mustang8ify we adopted a mare from New Mexico who never made a sound for 3 or 4 years! Then one day she decided to use her voice. In 12 years she's only had one wound and keeps herself so clean . She doesn't like people trying to pet her face, but loves to sniff down anyone she meets. I tell people let her pet you.

Are there any updates on these Spanish Mustang herds? Are they still free?

American history says that Spanish horses played a crucial role in colonising a part of Americas in 16th century.These poor but elegant creatures were the main source of fast mobility till the arrival of automobiles.But now these are mainly used for ceremonial occasions or for racing purposes.We need to leave them to their rightful place in the wild.

If poeple would leave alone may be thare would be more

At timer 23 what was the kick to the gut for?

I know where a group of wild horses are that have been overlooked for hundreds of years that still exist that are more ancient than anything spoke about here and they are located in North America and DNA says so 👍

What about the herds in Oklahoma?

I love horses, I went to corolla in north Carolina, They have a massive preserver for them, I went to see them on a ride. We saw a bunch of them. They have a couple herd/groups, that sometimes are on the beach

Is it possible to save these beautiful horses, so that they can enjoy their life, -wild, free and secure, without the fear of death by human hands? Because soon they are extinct.
