only meat eaters need gallbladders. The liver produces ample bile and releases it into the intestine as needed for fat digestion. Since horses only ingest plant fats, very little bile is needed compared to what a carnivore ingesting animal fats requires. The only real function of a gallbladder is to serve as a reservoir for bile so plenty is available when large amounts of fat enter the intestine. .....thus horses are good without gall bladders............
