Wild Horses survive because of how they were built. The first horses were wild themselves so it is their wild instinct, and the are built to run really fast to avoid predators, and they survive the grasslands by developing to a diet of mainly the grass, and they get their water from small ponds. Horses can stay in the grassland and graze all day, that is how they adapted over the centuries to survive in the first place.

Mustangs survive in their environment because they have no natural predators in North America. They are all decedents of domesticated animals that were released into the wild by pioneers and then later Native Americans.

Wild mustangs are very fierce and strong. So they can get away easily, but not always.

Most of the time, they just try to get some grass and other plants... what ever they can get!

Basically, like any other animal!
