T HE legend of the Pacing White Mustang was, as J. Frank Dobie put it, '... the last of the great horse legends of the civilized world.' The American oikotype of the legend took root and grew in a country composed of two radical facts: horses and horsemen. The frontier West was a place where mobility was often the key to survival. Having a horse that could run fast and long occasionally made the difference between keeping one's hair and losing it. Consequently, everyone who could beg, buy, borrow, or steal a horse went mounted. The truth behind the proverb that 'a man without a horse is no man at all' was seldom ignored by anyone with a yen for living a long and profitable life
