A lot. In a 24 hour period a horse can spend up 20 hours a day grazing. They sleep and doze a little and some time is spent on horse play but their main goal in life is to eat. It must work OK because as a species horses have been around for millions of years in one form or another.

Can you give horses grass clippings?

No you can't because horses are grazing all the time throughout the day, and only eating small amounts at a time. So when you give them grass cuttings they are eating far much more grass as when they are grazing so their digestive system can't handle all the grass at one time, and it will most probably give them colic, and then they may die.

How much time do horses spend eating?

In the wild, horses spend about 17 hours grazing everyday. However, if they are stabled, then they cannot graze, unless they are turned out and it is unlikely they are turned out for at least 17 hours (unless they live on 24/7 turnout, but im talking about stabled horses). Stabled horses are usually fed 3 or 4 meals a day, with hay throughout the day. The hay is very important as it keeps the digestive system going throughout the day and, for this reason, horses must have some kind of forage, whether is it hay, grass or haylage. Horses can suffer from gastric ulcers if they do not have the chance to eat forage. Hope I've helped!

Were does a horses spend it's time?

Horses spend there time in their stall in the stable or in a pasture or paddock. Sometimes they ride in a horse trailor when being transported. Horses love spending time in the pasture, where there's plenty of room to run around in, lots of fresh air, and fresh green grass to eat! From and thanks, -ThehorseGal&Advisor
