Horses evolved to eat grass, hay is essentially just grass that has been grown to a specific point of maturity, cut, allowed to dry a bit and baled for consumption by animals. Therefore horses will enjoy eating hay, which is just 'dry grass'. Hay should always be provided at all times as horses need constant long stemmed fiber moving through their digestive systems.
