Here's the breakdown:
* Mustangs are feral horses. They descended from horses brought to the Americas by Spanish explorers, who escaped or were intentionally released.
* They don't have a specific breed. Mustangs can be a mix of various breeds, including Spanish Colonial horses, Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, and even draft breeds.
* Over time, they've developed distinct traits. These include hardiness, resilience, and a strong survival instinct.
So, there's no set number of "Mustang breeds." It's more about their wild origins and their shared characteristics.
