Horses are not related to the even toed ruminants (or only very remotely). They developed a simple stomach and a long intestinal tract in order to process fiberous grasses and are unable to regurgitate what they have consumed.

Ruminants (cattle, deer, antelope, etc.) have multiple stomaches and the ability to regurgitate and chew cud in order to breakdown grass fibers more effectively before they reach the hind gut.
