I am checking, but it does appear that horses are NOT ruminants. Here is a definition:
http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=ruminant Any of various hoofed, even-toed, usually horned mammals of the suborder Ruminantia, such as cattle, sheep, goats, deer, and giraffes, characteristically having a stomach divided into four compartments and chewing a cud consisting of regurgitated, partially digested food. adj. 1.Characterized by the chewing of cud. 2.Of or belonging to the Ruminantia. I have never seen a horse chew cud. Also a horse is odd toed, not even toed accoring to another reference. (whatever that means, I thought horses had hoofs, not toes). Marshall "M. G.
