Description
These horses are part of a large herd of wild horses on the Ute Mountain Indian Reservation, near Cortez, Colorado. The Mesa Verde Region, the present day area containing the Ute Mountain Indian Reservation and the Mesa Verde National Park, was the northern most edge of the colonial territory of Spain. Initial exploration of the American Southwest by the Spanish occurred in 1540, but Spaniards didn't settle into present day New Mexico until 1598. About 1640 the Utes began trading with the Spanish for horses. These wild horses are thus believed to be descendants of Colonial Spanish horses.
