Technically, horses should be chewing something or eating all day long. Their digestive track is designed to be constantlyworking. When a horse chews, it produces saliva which aids in digestion by keeping things running smoothly. This prevents colic.
In general, when horses are fed hay, they usually eat between 2 and 3 meals per day. Typically there is an AM feeding, and a PM feeding. The most important thing to remember is to keep the horse on a routine and a schedule. If you feed at 9 am and 10 pm everyday, keep that routine. If you feed at 6 am, 12 pm and 6 pm, keep that schedule consistent.
Horses are all about routine.

∙ 13y agoIt doesn't matter what time of day it is. Just like people, they are born whenever they are ready. If you are worried about not waking up to help your mare, then you shouldn't be unless she has had issues before or if she is particularly young or small (you should talk to a vet on what to do. you might have to have a guard during the time she is due). Otherwise, you really shouldn't worry. Horses bear their children in the wild by themselves all the time. My mare had her baby boy in the middle of the night without a sound and my parents are really light sleepers and wake up at most everything (especially wailing horses).

∙ 12y agoIt varies with each cow, but mostly they have it at night/early morning when it's quiet and the other cows won't bother them. Some first-time calving cows will have their calve during the day, but really the answer is whenever it's time for the cow to calve.

Why cows give birth one at a time?
Actually, cows can give birth to twins although it is not very common. But the main reason that cows can only give birth or have one calf at a time is because that's all the room she allows in her uterus. Her uterus is not large enough nor long enough to encompass more than one, extremely rarely four fetuses at one time. A cow is an animal that needs her young to be up and suckling in a matter of minutes, not nursing them as tiny weak things in a cave somewhere.
