A horses feeding habits can be affected by the amount of food in front of it, but they generally are 'slow feeders'. Horses like to graze for up to 16 hours a day on forage based food, such as grass, hay or similar. However in captivity their feeding habits are typically altered due to human intervention. In stable or domestic situations most horses are feed two to four times a day with hay and/or grain/pelleted feed products. When fed like this horses will typically eat their food as fast as possible, which can lead to many health and behavioural problems.
