Technically, horses should be chewing something or eating all day long. Their digestive track is designed to be constantlyworking. When a horse chews, it produces saliva which aids in digestion by keeping things running smoothly. This prevents colic.
In general, when horses are fed hay, they usually eat between 2 and 3 meals per day. Typically there is an AM feeding, and a PM feeding. The most important thing to remember is to keep the horse on a routine and a schedule. If you feed at 9 am and 10 pm everyday, keep that routine. If you feed at 6 am, 12 pm and 6 pm, keep that schedule consistent.
Horses are all about routine.
