Because a horses stomach is only as big as a Rugby ball. If you fed it once everyday then it will get colic (stomach ache) , which can kill your horse, because the food won't be able to fit. Whereas if you feed your horse in small amounts then it will be able to empty its stomach and allow more food in.

What should you feed an horse?

You can feed a horse many things. A horse's main diet should consist of either hay or grass depending on where you live and what climate you have. Horses aren't meant to digest grain but many people feed it to them anyway. So, if you need to feed a horse grain, feed them small amounts of it. Any grain is okay in small amounts! Horses can also enjoy carrots, apples, and processed horse treats you can buy at a local equine store or Tractor Supply. Include, applesauce, molasses and oats in things like a bran mash or homemade treats because horses do enjoy these also. Each horse will have a unique taste and may like/dislike certain things.
