What are the habits and adaptations of the wild mustang?
Wild horses vary from domesticated horses in the sense that their survival instincts are more honed. Wild horses must learn to live on less food and harsher climates. In this they learn to live on less, their feet never need shoes or trimmed as they are hardend from birth and the land naturally trims them. They learn where to water in all seasons and where the best food sources are as well. They are very dependent on herds for warmth and strength against predators. Wild horses fear everything. Domesticated horses are different in the fact that they have learned to depend on humans for their shelter, food, safety and health needs. Hope this helps, if not feel free to email me with more questions.
