If he eats like a horse, that s good. If he eats like a pig, that s not so good.
Horses eat a lot, but they don t devour their food.
They take small bites not chunks, and they chew their food properly. And if they had napkins, they d use them. When horses eat like pigs, gobbling their food down as fast as they can, slopping it all over the place, it s a sure bet something is wrong. Most often, the thing that is wrong is that the horse isn t being fed like a horse. He isn t getting enough to eat and he isn t getting his food over a long enough period of time.
