Personally, I'd go grade. From my experience, registered horses are bred for lineage and not rideability or brains. My favorite horses were Arab crosses, my least favorite registered Quarter-types (appaloosa/paints/etc). Arab crosses were easy to train, really connected with you as a trainer/rider, and always had a presence about them. Mustangs, well they always retain a very independent streak about them, no matter how young. Hell, a friend had a mare foal at her house. The foal has the mustang attitude even afterall all these years. Another thing you have to worry about is their single rider mentality. My friend Karen rescues and trains them, every one she's rehomed has made its way back to her. They seem to go feral again after they leave. Considering her non-mustang rescues end up in forever homes... I owned one of the stangs..he went from an everybody grandpa horse at her place to something we shipped out asap
