One Mas horse

The Center for America's First Horse is happy to announce that we were able to rescue a very special horse from a situation he did not deserve to be in. Mas de Domingo,a 17 year old Spanish mustang gelding has returned to my care and his herd mates. He's been fed well and cared for but there is more to being a happy horse than just having food. I picked him up yesterday and he settled in quickly. He knows he is home.

Mas, as he is called, has unique markings of coloration-known as a medicine hat. The Native American's regard medicine hat horses highly, as they carry special "medicine" or power. Only the tribal chiefs would ride a medicine hat.

Mas is a direct descendant of San Domingo, the medicine hat stallion from the Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico. San Domingo was one of the first stallions which began the Spanish Mustang Registry in the 1950's. The famous author, Marguerite Henry, wrote a book long ago called "San Domingo" based on the story of this stallion. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that San Domingo is Mas' grandfather.

It is only because of recent donations we've recieved that we were able to take Mas back so quickly. EVERY dollar our organization is sent goes to protect, preserve or promote Colonial Spanish horses of all bloodlines. We Thank all of our supporters for their contributions, no matter the size, so we can help horses like Mas.
