Brief Explanations

The digestive system of a horse (or any organism) involves multiple organs where food breakdown occurs. In the mouth, mechanical digestion (chewing) and initial chemical digestion (enzymes in saliva) start breaking down food. The stomach has gastric juices (like hydrochloric acid and enzymes) that further break down food. The small intestine has pancreatic enzymes and intestinal enzymes that complete the digestion process, breaking food into small particles (nutrients) that can be absorbed.

Answer:

In the small intestine, In the stomach, In the mouth
