Yes, a ruminant is an animal that eats vegetation (including grass) then regurgitates the food to re-chew the food. The process of regurgitation then chewing and swallowing the cud is called rumination.

Why are horses considered non-ruminant yet they feed on grasses?

Ruminants are animals that eat grass, regurgitate it as cud, rechew and then swollow it again for digestion. Cows are considered ruminants as they exhibit this behavior. Just because an animal eats grass it does not mean it is a ruminant. Since horses do not regurgitate their feed and chew it again, they are not considered ruminants. Animals that eat a plant based diet are considered herbavores.
