BORN SURVIVORS ON THE EVE OF EXTINCTION

Can Iberia's Wild Horse Survive Among America's Mustangs?

The must-have book on Sorraias, mustangs, and Sorraia Mustangs.

"One of the most important and especially responsible works published in recent years", says zoologist Prof. Dr. Willmann about this book, which brings to your attention one of the world's last primitive horses, the Sorraia, and the precarious situation its offshoot, the Sorraia-type mustang, is in.

Wild Horses, Feral Horses, and Ancestral Horses, History of the American Mustang, The Spanish Mustang, The Preservation of the Spanish Mustang and the Sorraia horse, Scientific Proof for the Authenticity of the Sorraia Mustang – these are topices covered in this outstanding book, which deals with Przewalski's horse as well as with the Tarpan, with ancestral wild horse forms, with the "Barb myth", with the question of how Sorraias came to the New World, with how they could survive in the wild, and with the history of different mustang herds.

THE INDIGENOUS IBERIAN HORSE…

The Sorraia horse is the most primitive Iberian horse known to Man that still exists, a probable ancestor of the proud Lusitano, of Spanish Mustangs and Central and South American breeds. Indigenous to South Iberia, and influencial in the creation of many domestic breeds, the Sorraia horse is today critically endangered. It is no longer found in the wild in its homeland, but a few herds remain in domestication and semi-domestication.
