She has broken a few mustangs. They are harder to break but when done can be just as good or bad as any other horse. She usually has to lay them down to gain their trust, then they break just fine.
Yes, they can have quirks, just like any other horse (or human for that matter). Most of the time quirks are from the owner not knowing enough about how to redirect bad behavior AT THE TIME IT OCCURS. Let any horse get away with stuff and you get to deal with it later. Treat every ride as a potential training time and you will have a well mannered horse.
On the slaughter issue, it is not just a horse meat issue. It is a humane issue. To a large extent, the horses are terribly handled by the meat buyers, stuffed into cattle trucks that are too low and crowded so they get further injured. Lastly, when they are in the slaughter process, if they balk, they usually blind them to get them into the kill pen. A really awful way to treat them. If they could be humanely put down, then harvested, that may make a difference to some. But to put them thru a living hell for a week or so to get them there and processed is just not right.
