Abstang horse

Country Of Origin United States
History and Background 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.
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).
