Not much. Forage is the herbaceous plants that are eaten by livestock, be it harvested by man and fed to livestock, or that which livestock harvest themselves. Pasture is where much of livestock's forage is located, and where livestock like cattle, sheep and horses are able to harvest their own food through the process of grazing.

Can pasture provide a horse with an excellent source of forage?
Depends on how big the pasture is, how many horses. If there are more horses than year round forage, I'd suggest hay. It also depends on what grows in your pasture? Any alfalfa or timothy? Those are really good for the horse(s).
What is different between natural pasture and artificial pasture?
Artificial pasture is more or less equivalent to the term "tame pasture" in North America. It is a pasture that contains grasses that are tame, non-native or "soft" over grasses that are native, wild or "hard." The latter is called "natural pasture." Artificial pastures contain grasses that are more vigorous, competitive and tend to have a much higher forage biomass over a growing period than native grasses do, making them ideal for grazing in a controlled system over a nomadic pastoral system typical of natural pastures. Native versus artificial pastures are terms that are used in eastern Europe, parts of Asia and Africa. Please see the related links below for more information.

How many pounds of pasture can a cow eat?
The amount a cow eats in the pasture is not measured by "pounds of pasture" as pasture includes the plants and the soil. The amount of forage biomass or just forage is what you should be referring to. So, a typical 1000 lb cow will eat around 2.5% of her body weight in dry matter, which is around 26 lbs DM.
