Horses are grazers and if left to their own devices would eat 20 hours a day. So many small meals are more natural to the digestion. But for domestic horses that don't have access to large pastures and rely on humans for their meals make due with 2 or 3 larger meals. It's just more convienent for people to feed like this.
