Best Answer

In the wild, horses spend about 17 hours grazing everyday. However, if they are stabled, then they cannot graze, unless they are turned out and it is unlikely they are turned out for at least 17 hours (unless they live on 24/7 turnout, but im talking about stabled horses). Stabled horses are usually fed 3 or 4 meals a day, with hay throughout the day. The hay is very important as it keeps the digestive system going throughout the day and, for this reason, horses must have some kind of forage, whether is it hay, grass or haylage. Horses can suffer from gastric ulcers if they do not have the chance to eat forage. Hope I've helped!
