Monero Mustangs was incorporated, in New Mexico, as a non-profit entity in May of 2003.

The main goal is to reproduce as genetically pure descendents of the original Spanish horse, as it was brought into this country by the Spanish. Also to educate the world in the role these horses played in the heritage of the western world.

The idea of Monero Mustangs reached reality with the acquisition of a qualifying stallion captured from the wild. We go by the practice of first selecting animals that meet the visual requirements, then testing of DNA, finally the history of where they came from. We do have a few animals that are not far from the goal we are working for. There is the need to research and archive the history of the horse in the western world and to share this information with other groups and individuals that have a common goal.

The word Monero is a geographic location where our herd went from an idea to reality. It is an Italian word referring to the coal mines that supported the early settlers in the northern portion of Rio Arriba County in New Mexico.
