Best Answer

Horses are grazers, like cows and goats. When grazing, they eat grasses, mostly sweet grasses. When kept in barns, they eat grains (oats) and hay (dried timothy grasses). They are strictly vegetarians and enjoy occasional fresh carrots. They do not eat meat; they do not attack or eat any animals or game. They like salt and sugar cubes. If attacked by animals, they will buck, kick, and primarily run away, but they do not seek to kill other animals.
