The wild horse will probably have a higher rate of conception, this is due to natural selection. Having a high rate of reproduction is genetic, there for if you have a low repro rate then you have fewer foals causing less adults who are reproductively faulty. In the domestic horse you can use a different variety of ways to get the mare in foal so they may not all be as sound reproductively as the wild horse but are still able to get in foal because of human assistance.
