Howrse answer is One

Horses have one stomach.

in other words: it's the same with us!! :)

Many other four legged grazers (like sheep, goats and cattle) are ruminants, that is, they have four stomachs. They evolved seperately and are more closely related to antelopes than to horses. Ruminants have cloven hooves, horses have an unbroken hoof.

Having four stomachs allows ruminants to extract more nutrition out of what they eat, so usually they can eat less nutritious feed (like straw or weeds) than horses can.

Technically speaking they all have one stomach, just that the average person calls the 4 compartments of a ruminants stomach to be separate stomachs. (reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum) Horses and rabbits have a 'hind gut' This is the caecum, where some additional digestion can take place (humans call the caecum an appendix)
