The Mustangs that are rounded up and adopted by humans have different jobs. Just like domestic horses they can be trained for many different types of riding. For wild Mustangs, their purpose is to just be free.

∙ 11y agoA Mustang is a free-roaming horse of the North American west that first descended from horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish. Mustangs are often referred to as wild horses, but there is intense debate over terminology. Because they are descended from once-domesticated horses, they can be classified as feral horses.
Mustang horses come in a wide variety of colors including brown, bay, black and gray. Although mustang horses vary in size, they typically measure between 13 and 15 hands high.
On average, mustang horses weigh between 700 and 800 lbs. They are hardy animals with strong legs, heavy bones, hard feet and superb stamina.
These horses at one point of time dwelt in millions over the US terrain, however, today their numbers have been reduced to thousands.
The United States Congress in the year 1971 honored the Mustang horse with the title of "living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West, which continue to contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people." A federal law was also passed in the same year regarding the ban placed on capturing, harming or killing Mustangs freely roaming on public land.

What a half wild horse called?
Typically, a horse is either wild or tame, and there is no middle ground. I suppose you could call it semi-feral, semi-wild or semi-tame. If you mean a horse that lives with humans, but has not been gentled yet, you would refer to it as an unbroken horse. If you mean what is a horse that is half mustang or brumby called, then you would call it a mustang cross, or a brumby cross.
