Why does your horse spit out grass balls?

A horse spitting out a ball of grass or dropping the grass is called Quidding. It's what happens when a horse cannot properly chew it's food. This may be done due to poor dental care and the horse would need it's teeth floated to chew properly, or it could be an injury or infection causing pain when the horse eats and instead of continuing to chew the horse spits out or drops the food instead. You should have a equine veterinarian out to check a horse that is quidding as soon as possible.

What animals do not chew their cud?

Animals that do not chew their cud are typically non-ruminants, which include species such as pigs, horses, and humans. Unlike ruminants like cows and sheep, these animals have a simpler digestive system and do not have a specialized stomach compartment for fermenting food. Instead, they digest food in a single-chambered stomach, processing it without the cud-chewing behavior seen in ruminants. Other examples include carnivorous animals, such as cats and dogs, which also do not chew cud as their diet is primarily meat-based.
