Where a horse eats its food all depends on how it is kept. A grass kept horse can sometimes get all of its nutrients from the grass it eats and other plants and shrubs. Many horses nowadays are given buckets of feed straight in the field, and also fed salt licks or supplement tubs in the field.

Stable kept horses are fed in their stables most of the time, and are given a bucket of feed or food in their trough. They are also given salt licks and fresh water, as well as hay or haylage.

In the wild, horses rely on streams and rivers for water, and get their much needed nutrients from grasses and plants found naturally in their habitat.

Horses that are owned are fed their food. They eat by digesting oats. Horses in the wild eat native grasses.

Answer 2:

In Domestic situations horses are typically brought their food, the horse then eats that food. They may also be allowed to graze.

In the wild, horses search out native plants that they can eat or lick.

In both cases once the food is available the horse will pick it up with it's lips, pull it into it's mouth with it's teeth (or snip grass with their teeth.) Then they chew in a side to side manner switching sides every few chews. Once the food has been thoroughly chewed they swallow it and begin the digestion process.

A horse is a herbivore. They do not "catch" their food. They graze on grass, which, last time I checked, does not have to be "caught".
