Yes I can see you know nothing about horses.
Working horses need high energy food additionally to grass, ie grain
or these days "concentrates".
In days of yore,large areas of land were set aside for growing oats
just to feed horses and oxen.
You don't get energy from nowhere.

Grass Harry. All grains (wheat, barley, oats etc), they're all
grasses, or didn't you know that? Concentrates are made from them. So
why have all these green machines, the horses, disappeared, Harry?
It's because they've been replaced by infinitely more efficient
machines that burn fuels such as coal or oil.

harry might have heard of the countryside, but I doubt if he's ever
been there.

I used to own a farm ****-fer-brans.

Tend to find the fibre in the brans causes that.
