What is a testable hypothesis for an experiment that compares wild horses and tame horses?

A previous answer was: The teeth of wild horses wear down faster than the teeth of tame horses. However, this hypothesis would be very difficult to prove because---how would you propose to examine the teeth of the wild horses? Even if you did catch a few wild horses, how would you examine and measure their tooth length (open your mouth and smile?).
A better testable hypothesis might be:
The excrement of tame horses will show higher levels of manmade chemicals and additives and their chemical byproducts from horse feed than the excrement of wild horses that nourish themselves on naturally grown grasses.
You would not need to capture wild horses; you'd just need to follow them to pick up samples of their feces. You would be easily able to do lab studies to pinpoint specific chemicals / additives, and what the feces consists of.
A second testable hypothesis, also based on feces, would be:
Wild horses are more likely to ingest non-grass items such as dirt, small pebbles, and roots, than tame horses.
It would be easier to collect fecal samples and identify 'what' is in the feces.
The most difficult of both hypotheses would be following the wild herd to collect samples, but it could be done.
