For the most part mustangs survive on badlands and eat low quality grass most of the year, tho will raid fortified pastures. Once in captivity they eat the same as any other domestic horse, a standard fare of grain and hay, the specifics of which are up to the owners choosing.

The majority of Mustangs are feral, so they live off their territory. This includes grasses and other shrubs and trees that are safe for them to eat. They can normally sense whether something is poisonous by smelling it or licking it.
