Red clover is typically grown for horses, but many other types can be used as well. However it should be noted that Clover is considered a legume and it is very rich in protein and other nutrients, so it should not be fed in large quantities.

∙ 8y agoAll clover is not bad for horses and some can be safely fed to horses to increase the protein content of the diet. However, at certain times even "safe" clover can increase the risk of laminitis due to an increased sugar content due to fast growth. "Safe" clover can also become an issue if it is moldy.
Alsike clover and red clover can be toxic to horses and cause liver damage and photosensitivity if too much is eaten. The cause of the toxicity is unknown.
