depends on if your horse is a stalled horse or a pasture horse. pasture horses normally founder easliy. and stalled horses don't founder so easliy so it depends.
Answer:Actually, horses do not founder becasue of pasture, as you can see in the related link. A horse should be kept in "natural boarding" 24/7, and they will constantly eat to keep their small bellies filled for about 18-20 hours a day, and this will total to about 2% of their body weight. Given free choice grass or grass hay, a horse will eat the correct amount; some how they just know what they need.

∙ 8y agoHorses need to eat a minimum of 1% of their body weight per day in forage just to maintain digestive health. Most horses need closer to 1.5% to maintain weight and may need up to 3% depending on their activity level/reproductive status. This means that for a 1000 lb horse, you need to feed a minimum of 10 lbs of good quality hay per day.

∙ 11y agoEvery day a horse should eat about 2% of its body weight. Whether it's in horse food or snacks like apples, it should not exceed 2% to ensure that a healthy weight is maintained.

No horse's do not eat grass they eat grass and hay and horse feed?
Your question is a bit hard to understand as you first say ' No a horse does not eat grass.' and then you say 'They do eat grass.' A horse evolved over millions of years into a grazing animal and they do eat grass, however they can also eat other food stuffs without much if any harm coming to them. This includes hay which is really just grass that is allowed to reach a specific level of maturity before being harvested. Horse feeds include straight grains and pelleted feeds, which are used for horses in specific need of extra calories or energy. Horses may also eat a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, berries, and horse treats.
