I'm sorry, but I didn't intend this as an historical citation.

Merely an illustration...

 

My personal opinion on all this is as follows...

 

There used to be a bit of common wisdom on the old

Internet newsgroups that whenever any debate

got around to mentioning Nazis, it had decayed past

all redemption and could no longer possibly provide

any useful information.  My opinion is that any discussion

of "natural" horsemanship that cites Mustangs as an

example belongs in the same category.

No offense, but not exactly the sort of reliable source I'd use for researching the history of mustanging methods.  Having tried to chase livestock with vehicles, I can tell you that even less agile creatures such as cows are pretty tough to capture with a wheeled vehicle....

This technique is used in _The Misfits_ (Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe,

circa 1960).  Copies should be available in any sizeable video store.  If

I recall correctly (it's been at least 10 years since I watched it), they

roped them off the back of a truck.  Pretty harrowing.
