Mustangs are feral horses ( not actually wild) are are nearly identical to most domestic horses. However they are typically more efficient in their feed and water usage/ intake. A mustang might drink more than a domestic horse in a single sitting, but they also tend to be better and conserving the water they have drank. A domestic horse usually does not have to journey too far to find water and does not need to be as thrifty.This doesn't necessarily apply to horses that compete in endurance racing though.
