No, horses can be be fed multiple times a day, if you reduce the amount of feed given per feeding. I.e you give 1/2 the feed in the am and 1/2 the feed in the pm on a two feeding per day program.

∙ 7y agoHorses must be fed on a schedule. Every 12 hours without fail. You feed a horse according to body weight, consult your local vet on how much grain your horse needs fed in accordance to his/her weight. I feed my horses at 8:00 pm and 8:00 am. This way it's not too early or late for me or them. The time you choose should be convenient for you and them, but the important thing is to KEEP them on that 12 hour schedule. Also, remember horses are a grazing animal. If they are not kept in a pasture, make sure they have fresh hay somewhere nearby at all times.
The amount a horse is fed varies depending on the horses's metabolism, breed, size, the work it does etc. Horses can be kept in a pasture and many can be comfortable grazing all day long. It is natural for a horse to be eating all day long as their bodies are designed for this. Some horses however, tend to pack on the pounds quickly which can lead to many health problems and it is then important to regulate the amount they eat. Horses that are stabled should be fed a minimum of twice daily. Several small feedings is always better than a couple large one. Stabled horses provided with hay to munch on throughout the day don't tend to be as bored in their stall - destructive behaviours are reduced as a result. At least twice a day.
Twice a day...usually morning and evening

∙ 11y agoApples and carrots are considered treats and should be fed as such, however you can always cut some up and add them to a horses feed. You should however never add too much as this can put them off their normal feed and cause digestive upsets.
