Horse Trivia Time!

Horses have no gallbladder, and that reveals a lot about how they're designed to eat.

Unlike dogs and cats, which eat larger meals and store bile in a gallbladder, horses produce bile continuously because they're built to graze almost constantly. As a result, they aren't well adapted to digesting large amounts of fat at once.

The takeaway? A horse's digestive system evolved for steady, low-fat forage intake, not rich, high-fat meals.
