the best grasses for horses are stalky/hay like grasses like timothy grass.
lush looking, attractive grass that you see in most paddocks i.e rye grass and clover etc... are a definite no no for horses, as they have very high suger levels, and the microtoxins in them to discourage animals from eating them, can affect the horse temperarly, or even permanently (as you may have seen, most horses on these grasses seem to have 'lost their brains', and are dangerous to be around, let alone ride)
Horses are built to eat stalky/hay like grass, not lush pretty looking grass.
Hope this helps!
sorry about the bad explanaition!! you can search it up on Google, the information is all there!

∙ 13y agoIf your trying to put weight on them quick, but in a more expensive way if your buying, then feed alfalfa hay; it has anywhere from 18%-25% protein, depending on the seed blend. If your feeding them with no hurry on weight gain, natural grown grass is perfectly fine. Timothy grass has the highest fiber levels, so they will not eat as much because it will fill them up quicker; one downfall of this is a low protein level of 3.8%. If you have a good pasture area with grass thick enough to graze, you will not need hay because all cattle prefer fresh tender grass shoots(along with a wider variety) over hay, because of flavor, moisture content, and appearance. However, if grass is in a dormant season(dead) like winter, then hay will need to be provided. Be sure to provide more than the cow will eat on a regular basis. Account for the hay wasted. The colder it is the more a cow will eat because it burns calories to stay warm.
