Abstang Horse

Country of Origin: USA

Intro

Considering the inherent toughness of both the Mustang & the Arabian, it’s surprising that this mix has so recently become popular. An Abstang is a cross that combines two of the most prolific & hardiest types on the planet.

Origins

Early in the 1990’s Michele Brown of Utah experimented by crossing an unrefined Mustang with an Arabian. She thought the cross would produce interesting offspring & she wasn’t disappointed. The resulting animals are highly spirited with a willingness to please (providing you can earn their trust).

Making it Official

This cross was called Abstang & a registry for them was established in 1993 to acknowledge the new breed. Registered animals must possess the incredible refined endurance of the Arabian & the stubborn fearless nature of the Mustang.

Features
