Being from Texas and fan of all things western, here’s a little something that sorta tracks along with the stone age horse story.
When the Spaniards brought the horse to the Americas, as we all know their horses were Andalusians with a lot of Arabian bloodlines. As many of them escaped into the wild, they became almost a new breed, a reversion of evolution if you will, known as Mustangs.
One of the characteristics of some of these horses, was a bay color with black stripe down the back and black stockings. The Spanish term was ‘bayo coyote’
Pictures of horses with similar markings can be seen in caves in Europe and here is a You Tube video of one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZjNNjvSuqE
