What Is A Kiger Mustang?
Not Sold on the relaxing outdoor excursion yet?
The first step to changing your mind is gaining an understanding of the beautiful Kiger Mustangs.
Kiger Mustangs are a specific pedigree of mustangs that are found solely in the southeastern parts of Oregon.
The biggest thing that sets these Kiger Mustangs apart is that they are not bred or raised in captivity; they are wild and are free to roam the Steen Mountains as they please.
The Background Of Kiger Mustangs
While the Kiger Mustang breed has only been “re-discovered” in the last 100 years, they are shown to have descended from Spanish horses that were brought to North America centuries ago.
For many years, the breed had largely vanished from the mustang populations, that was until the Kiger Mustangs were discovered again in the 1900s.
The mustangs are athletic and muscularly built, as they are known for their stamina and their intelligence. While many Kiger Mustangs look similar, they have many different color combinations across the bloodline.
Some Kiger Mustangs may be found colored in:
Dun
Red Dun
Grulla
Buckin
Claybank
Etc.
