Horses have one stomach with one compartment, similar to humans. Because they eat vegetation, however, they need to ferment their diet to get the most nutrients out of it. Horses (like rabbits) are hind-gut fermenters and use their cecums (what has devolved into the appendix in humans) to digest their food. Cows, on the other hand, are fore-gut fermenters and use the first compartment of their stomach (they also only have one stomach but it is divided into four compartments) to ferment their foods.
A horse, unlike a cow, only has one stomach.

cows have 1 stomic to its just separated into 4 diffrent parts of that 1 stomic!
