Horses eat grass and plants.

A horse's owner usually feeds his/her horses a mixture of grass a legumes which is called hay. Hay is an important part of a horse's diet.

Some owners feed maize, also known as grain. But there are many types of grains you can buy to feed your horse, and it really depends on what your horse needs. If you don't know, you could ask your vet.

Carrots, Apples, Pears, and many fruits are given to horses as a treat. Horses will eat many kinds of fruit, but not all horses like these. Horses drink alot of water, so they need a high amount of salt in their diets. Owners usually leave a block of salt in their horse's stall/pasture/round pen so their horse can lick and get the amount of salt they need throughout the day. Many call this "block of salt" a salt lick or a salt block. They come in many sizes.
