Legacy Journal: Mustang- Myths, Mascots and Machines

Section:
Essays

Summary:

“The air of heaven is that which blows between a horse’s ears.” --- An Arab Proverb.

“Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances ... The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action ...” ----- D.H. Lawrence

“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”
------ Winston Churchill

: “The most beautiful, the most spirited and the most inspiring creature ever to print foot on the grasses of America.”
------- J.Frank Dobie- Texan Folklorist, of the Mustangs

Main:
: The mustang is a feral horse with Spanish roots that has ranged the western part of the North American continent for more than 500 years. In the north western Spanish empire in the New World, Native American tribes valued the trained “Big Dogs” and acquired them as the opportunity presented itself. Failing that, they did domesticate the feral fall out and leavings. The horse has evolved and adapted to the conditions of the west: dry deserts, rocky and steep terrain, harsh winters, and scant grass and browse.
Today, BML land in Harney County and the Steens Mountain south east of Burns, Oregon is the home of the Kiger Mustang, the model for the animated movie Spirit of Cimarron.

:: The mustang is the mascot of SMU, UCDavis, Cal State at SLO, and the former Malin, H.S. , Oregon state “B” champions in football and basketball.

::: Ford Mustang automobile, the Mustang fighter aircraft, and various power speed boats are example of compact high performance machines.
