IMAGINE STANDING on the top of a small mountain, looking over a vast expanse of American wilderness, a largely dry plain with the occasional water hole in the distance. You see a series of small dots towards the horizon, which could be rocks, bushes, or cattle. But lifting your binoculars, you are able to see that it is a herd of mustangs.
