About us...

We are members of the Spanish Mustang Registry who dedicate much of our time to researching the origins, conformation and Iberian connections of the Spanish Mustang breed. Neil Ui'Breaslain (son of Bob "Mr. Mustang" Brislawn) is our consultant on type, individual horses and strains that encompass the Spanish Mustang breed.

Why?

Straight to the core...

Cutting through the quagmire of registeries, strains, off shoots or manipulated herd managements can be daunting at best. Add a breed name like Spanish Mustang and then things get even more confusing. If a horse looks to untrained eyes like an image of what is considered in modern times as spanish, i.e. long thick manes and tails, arched thick necks, high movement, etc., then it must be eligble or fit into the Spanish ideal of the Spanish Mustang breed. If the horse is a mustang from any number of herd managements then it too must fit. If it appears to characterise both terms then one may get bruisd feelings when their horse does not make the inspection or worse yet doesnt even get accepted for an inspection. This is the very element that sets our registry apart. Here we will seek to help people identify the old type Iberian characteristics that drive the spanish look of the Spanish Mustang and to discover what other factors may have been contributors to the current phenotypes and why specific inspections decision are made.

Recognizing the Square Conformation of the Spanish Type Horse.

Developing an eye for the square conformation can take time. The varied attributes of an individual horse may create the ellusion of a square build or it may look very off from square and be right on the money. Length of leg ratio and depth of body to length of body can be very deceiving.
