Synopsis
The Horse That Won the West traces the history of Sorraia horses (also known as The Spanish Mustang) indigenous to the Iberian Peninsula, its introduction to and proliferation throughout North America, and its current dilemma as a pawn in the ongoing battle between private and public interests over its survival., The remarkable Sorraia horse - a resilient breed that shaped American history from Spanish conquest to the modern West - now fights for survival in a contentious battle between preservation and progress. In 1519, when indigenous peoples first encountered Hernán Cortés's mounted army, they believed they were witnessing supernatural creatures - half-man, half-beast. These "monsters" were Sorraia horses, compact but hardy steeds from southern Portugal whose stamina and adaptability would prove crucial to the European conquest of the Americas. While smaller than other breeds, these resilient horses not only survived grueling Atlantic crossings but thrived in the New World, becoming the foundation of the American mustang. Though nearly forgotten by history until the 20th century, the Sorraia's legacy endures in isolated wild herds across South Dakota, Wyoming, Oregon, and Nevada. Today, these living links to America's past find themselves at the center of an increasingly urgent debate over public lands, wildlife management, and cultural preservation. Marine biologist and horse breeder John Christopher Fine draws from extensive research and firsthand experience to trace this remarkable breed's journey - from its Iberian origins through its role in shaping North American history to its current status as a rare breed fighting for survival. Featuring over 100 stunning color photographs, this richly detailed narrative reveals not just the story of a horse, but a mirror of America's complex relationship with its wild heritage., When Hernan Cortes and his army arrived in what is now Mexico in 1519, indigenous people were astounded to see what appeared to be creatures that were half man and half beast. As a result, they easily succumbed to the invaders before realizing that the "creatures" were soldiers astride a magnificent animal they had never seen before, Sorraia horses from the southern region of Portugal. Short of stature from other horse breeds, the Sorraia were nimble and especially hardy, thus capable of surviving the long sea voyage from Spain. Though little was known about the provenance of the breed until the 20th century, Sorraia went on to become further domesticated by natives and white settlers alike, but as preference for larger working horses grew, the Sorraia were often killed or let loose in the wild, joining other wild horse breeds under the generic tern Mustang. Today, isolated herds of Sorraia can still be found among wild horse populations, a reminder of the breed's important role in the conquest of North America by Europeans. This book traces the history of a rare breed indigenous to the Iberian Peninsula, its introduction to and proliferation throughout North America, and its current dilemma as a pawn in the ongoing battle between private and public interests over its survival. As a horseman and rancher who at one time leased out land for a wild horse preserve, the author's first-hand experience with the breed adds an unusual perspective to the saga of this enigmatic horse. Illustrated with over 70 color photos, art, and artifacts.
