I spend my time doing horse sports photography, and I can tell your mirrorless is fine.

Zero latency problem, really. Go for it, you'll love it! It's a game changer.

Low light is probably not an issue here, as horses don't tend to congregate indoors in low light environments.

I would take a pentaprism SLR over an EVF any day. That being said, my budget has usually been constrained to penta-mirror SLRs.

Low light absolutely is a thing in this field, I am regularly working around 4000 - 6400 ISO: indoors in the mornings with shutter speeds of 1/1000 on a f/2.8 lens.

I'm also not splurging a huge budget: the OM System OM-1 is available for half the price of the equivalent DSLR from Canon.

I mean it, mirrorless is fine.
