Best Answer

They eat all kinds of grasses in the Western plains of the United States.

Mustangs will eat plains grasses the majority of the time. However they will also eat some non toxic weeds, tree bark, roots and sometimes soil. Typically when they eat things other than grass it is due to lack of grass forage or to seek out specific vitamins and minerals.
