Foot toughness can very within a breed. For example, white feet are softer than black feet. Also, the color of the horse can effect the toughness of a horses feet. Palominos and sorrels, for example, have more fragile feet than Bays and blacks. Horses with the dun factor (buckskin dun, red dun, and grullas) have thicker hoof walls, and tougher feet than all the other horse colors.
As far as breeds go, I would imagine that the Sulphur Springs Mustangs have some of, if not the toughest horse feet in the world. This special heard of mustangs have been running wild in the harsh rocky deserts of Southern Utah for well over 200 years! Unlike most other mustang herds, the Sulphur Springs herd have had very little domestic horse blood mixed into their gene pool. Most other mustang herds have been heavily polluted with the genes of cow horses, cavalry remounts, and other random horse strays, so most of their ancestors have been running free for less than 100 years. The Sulphur Springs Mustang herd is from an extremely rough and rugged part of a desert mountain range found in Southern Utah. Because of the extremely harsh environment that they live in, the Sulphur Springs Mustang herd has been selectively bred by nature for the survival of the fittest . Any Sulphur Springs Mustang that get's sore feet, doesn't survive to pass on his bad genes. Also, most Sulphur Springs Mustangs are dun factor horses, which as I said earlier have the toughest feet of any other horse color.

The above answer has some good points, but also one glaring inaccuracy. The color of a horses hooves in no way affects it's toughness, that is an old wives tale that was disproved many years ago.
