Answer 1:
. Horses usually eat hay but they like sugar cubes best ;)
Answer 2:
. A horses diet consists of three feeds:
Bulk Feed/Long Feed
Straights
Treats
Bulk Feed
Most of this supplementary food comes from what is known as long or feed. Long feed consists of fibre and roughage and is vital for the good digestive function of your horse. Grass is a source of fibre but when it is not available, such as in the winter months, your horse will need plenty of hay to get the food groups he/she needs to keep functioning correctly. Bulk Feed or Long Feed is the name given to the food that fills up most of your horse's diet, such as hay and grass. If your horses bulk feed is sugar cubes, you might want to rethink your pet's diet plan! Grazing is an intake of feed known as bulk feed. Horses are grazers by nature. Rather than eating a lot of food in one sitting- they will graze steadily throughout the day. Their main type of food as a result of this is grass. Ideally, a horse needs to consume about 2.0 to 2.5 percent of their body weight in grass. If possible, he/she needs to graze in an area where there is newly grown grass and older, longer grass. Herbs and weeds are also useful if they are in abundance too. But by grazing alone, your horse will not be very healthy, because they need other nutrients too.
Straights
Another type of horse feed is known as straights. Straights make up a small but important part of your horse's diet. Straights are foods such as cereal and grains which give the horse energy and nutrients. But beware; straights can cause a horse to become overweight. Generally speaking, the more hard work a horse does or the more competitions he is taking part in, the more straights he will need. But ponies and light workers need far fewer straights. If you feed them the same as a bigger, harder working horse, they will become overweight, you will know this when you cannot feel their shoulders and ribs and you find thick pads of fat around joints.
Treats
Now we can introduce things like sugar cubes. horses love treats every so often, it keeps their brain falling for you, 'the treat bringer' You can feed horses carrots, apples turnips and a lot of other vegetables. They also love a good polo once or twice a day. Horse can eat bread, but not too much as it can give them colic and other things. Colic is an illness that causes the muscles to inflame and they get spasms and other thinks like that. Other strong mints like polos can be a tasty treat too.
KFC, McDonalds, Red Rooster, Fish'n'chips, Pizza, Donuts, Crisp chips, Chocolate, TicTacs, Cat food, Dog food, Fish food, red meat, wite meat, green meat (No one should eat green meat), Rat poison, etc. Did you really need to ask that question?

Horses have evolved to eat a fairly specific diet and feeding unhealthy foods will lead to health issues of varying types.
Horses have to eat oats, hay and other foods. They also can have nutrients put into their foods specifically made for horses. They can also have treats like apples and carrots. Make sure horses always have water in their stall or pasture too. Change is regularly. Refer to profesionals or horse and barn owners you trust to help you with your horse(s).
Alfalfa Hay Horse Grain There are a few more types of foods a horse can eat l
Technically a horse can eat any vegetable or fruit. The human foods horses can eat are carrots, potatoes, bread, apples, oatmeal, oats, they like al kinds of vegetables. they cant eat meat, coffee, chocolate, candy other than peppermint. Horses love peppermint.
Race horses are feed a diet of high energy foods such as oat, however feeding a horse before they work is not a good idea is it can cause colic so they are not feed before they race as they could die.
Horses evolved to eat grass, so that is what they enjoy the most. Hay is a close second as it is dried grass. Some fruits and vegetables are safe for horses to eat but you must be careful not to feed something toxic or harmful.
