Few symbols are more closely tied to the American West than the mustang. But where did these horses really come from, and are they as "wild" as we often believe?

In this episode of Way Out West, explore the remarkable history of the American mustang—from its ancient origins and Spanish reintroduction to its place in Indigenous cultures, ranching history, and today's public lands. Along the way, we'll separate legend from reality, examine the challenges of modern wild horse management, and discover why the mustang's true story is even more fascinating than the myth.
