This breed won popularity as being very versatile. These animals were indispensable for early settlers who used them for work during the week and for racing on the weekends. Pioneers heading West in the 18th century needed hardy, endurable mounts able to withstand harsh conditions and lack of food. When moving westward, the mounts were crossbred with feral Mustangs, the descendants of the Spanish stock. The new crossbred had innate “cow sense” and was ideal for working with cattle. Working cattle has become the main task of these animals for the next several centuries.
