Horses eat grass because that's what they evolved to eat over the years. Humans began feeding hay, which is basically just long, dried and cut grass (sometimes legumes like alfalfa.) Hay was developed for livestock and humans as a source of food, bedding, and fuel. As a horses work levels increased over the years humans began feeding grains to horses to increase the horses energy, these included, but were not limited to: Oats, corn, and barley. Nowadays commercial rations are manufactured to take the place of less suitable grains or to balance out those grains if they are still fed.
