Ones that are owned by humans are put in the barn.

Wild ones often survive by pawing through the snow to get to food, eating less, and sometimes humans drop food for wild herds to keep them going.

Yes, and they're surprising well-equipped and well-adapted at doing so. They can paw through snow with their hooves and access forage in areas where the snow isn't so deep or hasn't fallen, like at tree bases of conifers (like is commonly done with the feral horses that live in the Rocky Mountain Forest Reserve in Alberta and Chilcoltin mountains of British Columbia). They also grow thick winter coats to survive the cold that often comes with long winters, live in groups to watch out for predators and huddle together to keep warm if the weather gets unbearably cold, and they can travel for miles to find new sources of food if the area they were in runs out.

They grow winter coats that are very furry which keeps them warm and they also find shelter in trees to stay away from the snow and wind

What are mustang horses related to?

Mustangs came first from the spanish horses brought to the Americas. The spanish horses escaped and were released, and all the spanish breeds bred together to make a "mutt" of sorts. Other horses were brought to the Americas and they bred into the feral horses when they escaped. Mustangs are a mix of many different breeds and, over time, through natural selection, only the strongest, hardiest, smartest horses survived and gradually made their own characteristics, such as strong feet and smaller stature to survive on less food. Some types of mustangs have stronger relations to the spanish horses, such as the Kiger Mustang, and others have stronger relations to other horses.
