I love breeding mods but horse breeding in minecraft means you either have to breed tons and tons of horses or just accept your best captured horses are going to be better than bred horses. That means either a lot of lag and lots of useless horses or a glue factory, which is a very depressing thing to run.
This suggestion has two parts, one of which I shared on the subreddit once, but this is simplified. Someone else suggested golden apples would give you better horses. The difference in this idea is that it specifically isn't heritable... it's nurture, not nature. Something like 10% average for a regular golden apple and 20% for a Notch apple.
The second part is that on easier levels the 'third horse' that the breeding pair is averaged with is, on average a little bit better... I'd suggest it gets +2 blocks per second speed, +1/2 a block jumping height and +1 hp on peaceful, and +1 block per second speed, +1/4 block jumping height and +1/2 hp on easy. This bonus should be heritable, and still subject to normal maximums. Since the horse formula still averages the parents into it it makes it still tough. You could play with the weighting a bit, maybe even add a game rule for adjusting them. Horse coloration would be unchanged.
