What if there is a pasture full of cows and one horse would the horse know if it is a horse?

That depends on how long the horse has been with the herd of cattle, and how accustomed (or not) it is to the cow herd. If the horse has been with the herd all its life, no. If it's only been with the cows for a short time, yes.

How do you get a horse round and full?
Have him have access to hay and pasture 24/7.
Can a horse eat more grass hay if they are in a smaller than normal pasture?
This question is really too vague to answer, because it all depends on whether that "smaller than normal" pasture is full of grass that hasn't been eaten yet, or a pasture that has already been eaten down. Also, we don't know whether the horse is being fed on the pasture or in a separate enclosure where there is no grass. And finally, what is "normal" in terms of "normal pasture?" "Normal" depends on where a person lives, the average stocking rate that is allowed for one horse in that particular area, and the size of that horse. Since we also do not know any of these things, we cannot really answer the question.
What would happen if cows and carabaos were allowed to overgraze the field?
Well, they'll certainly get pretty hungry. They would have to be fed some other feed ASAP or switched to a fresh pasture immediately, and not be allowed on that overgrazed pasture for at least 40 to 60 days to allow the grass to regrow and restablish itself. If we are talking about having these critters in the more defined seasons where there is no grazing for 5 to 6 months out of the year, they shouldn't be allowed on that pasture until a full year has passed. And even then they should NEVER be allowed to overgraze a pasture ever again. (This is the fault of the humans that the pasture got overgrazed, by the way, not the animals.)
What is the best way to feed your horse the right way?
To keep your horse his healthiest, keep him in a pasture or paddock. He should be on around 1-2 acres per horse, and the grass should not be very rich. If the pasture is small (1 acre or less), has little grass to graze, or is full of rich grasses, give the horse with some grass hay to help balance out the rich food, and monitor your horse carefully. Spread the hay all around the pasture, so the horse still has to walk around to get it, as if he were grazing. Not alfalfa or anything else, just plain grass hay. alfalfa is too rich, and rich grasses are very dangerous for your horse for many reasons.
What is a field full of horses called?

Definitely! Cows diet effects taste and quality of milk greatly. Don't believe me? Let her graze on a pasture full of onions. Promise..your milk is going to be really nasty!!

How many horses can you have in the padock?
That depends entirely on the condition of the grasses in your paddock, the climate, the maintenance you put into the paddock, and whether you intend for the horses to live in the paddock full time. A typical stocking rate (the number of animals on a given area) is 1 adult horse per acre of pasture. In order for an acre of pasture to actually support a horse 24/7 however, you must remove manure from the pasture daily, mow the pasture regularly, fertilize and broadcast seed the pasture, etc. all of which requires the horse to be OFF the pasture for various periods of time. I live in central IL where this time of year everything is wet and muddy. A horse on 1 acre of pasture here, right now, will destroy the pasture in about a week just by walking around tearing up the grasses. If you are only worried about how many horses you can put together, that will depend on how well they get along. If they don't get along well, they need enough room so that they don't irritate each other and the paddock fences must be safe enough that if they get to bickering and running each other around, they don't break through the fence or get hurt on it.
What do miniture horses eat?
You feed mini horses the same feeds as you would feed a full size horse- just in smaller portions. A mini horse should eat 1.5-2% of its body weight every day in forage (pasture or high-quality hay). Depending upon its individual needs (temperment, health, amount and type of work being done- ie pasture pet, cart horse, performance horse), you would add grain and/or supplements.
Do pigs eat cows?
Not full grown mature cows, no. But a pig may go after and try to kill a young calf if it has the chance.
Do coyotes eat rabbits and cows?
No. They are not meat eaters, so they would not eat a coyote.
What is full board when referring to a horse?
When you keep you horse in full board ( or full livery) you keep it at a stables and they do everything for your horse, like grooming, feeding, riding, turning out and mucking out. This is often a good way to keep your horse if you work full time. It can often be expensive though.
