How do horses eat?
• Horses use their very dexterous lips to choose their feed and draw it into their incisors (also known as nippers). • With their incisors, they tear the grass from the ground, and with their tongue, move the food back to the molars. • The molars act as a millstone, grinding the grass, hay, or grain into digestible sizes easy to swallow.
