Best Answer

The horse eats grass by grabing hold of selective bits of grass with its lips and the the front teeth bite it. It is then made into a bolus whitch is a ball of food. And then it is shoved to the back of the mouth to the molars at the back which then grinds the food. Thenit is swallowed by using a muscle contraction to push it down the oesophagus called peristalsis.

They nurse them with milk produced by the horses body. Like most mammals. Mares suckle their foals until they are from 10 - 21 days old. At this time they can start eating roughage and concentrates.

Foals (baby horses) nurse on their mother's tit's to get milk. they will continue to nurse on their mother until they are about 10-12 weeks old, then they will start to eat grass or grain with the mothers milk as well. The foal with slowly start to eat more of the hay/grass and less of the mare's (mother horse)milk.

Well a newborn drinks milk for a few weeks after it's born but after that they can drink water and at first you can buy food that is made specifaclly for Newborns until they get old enough to eat the same food as a full grown horse! Hope that helps =)

She nurses them. Horses, like all mammals, have mammary glands that produce milk for their young. She also teaches her foals how to find and eat grasses by demonstrating before they are weaned from her breast milk.

You shouldn't need to feed a newborn horse. It will nurse from it's mother. If for some reason it can't nurse then you should by formula for it from a farm supply store.
