i guess the reason so many barefoot enthusiasts want to talk about mustang feet is because most mustangs have really good, tough feet. and while it is true that wild horses dont go at a thundering gallop across the mountains for hundreds of miles, they are out there in all kinds of rugged terrain, 24/7.
And another important ingredient is that the mustang has developed those good hard feet through years of the natural selection process. Any horse without that type of feet did not live long enough to contribute to the gene pool. This is something that is missing in the breeding of the domestic horse.

The horse could run faster than the deer, jump higher than the goat, and endure longer than the wolf. Man, being encompassed by elements that sought to destroy him, would have been a slave, had the horse not made him king."
