Re: [RC] about hidalgo - Vicki Austin

Remember it was a Spanish Mustang not a blm type
mustang.

I'm not quite for sure...but I came across a
website that had the story
of Hidalgo.  Said that this horse was a mustang,
and had been in pony
express type races and so on, and won them
constantly, and to make a
long story short apparently there had been a bet
made that this horse
could not compete against the fine arabians of the
egyptian king.  He
took the bet and the horse ended up winning this
horendous race of that
time- by days.  When he came back to America they
turned the horse with
herds of mares trying to get the stamina.  Said
that the horse had came
from a certain indian tribe.  Anyway that's the
jist of the history I
got from the website.  It was a family that raised
mustangs for
endurance it's their cover story.

Actually, there is considerable evidence that the
story is NOT true.  I
believe the Long Riders website (I'd imagine someone
here has it
bookmarked and can provide the url) has a pretty
comprehensive writeup
about this.
