Why is grass good for horses?

Grass is good for horses because this their natural diet; they are designed (though in a less efficient way than ruminants are) to eat grass. They've lived on grass for thousands and thousands of years, even before Equus caballus evolved into the Equus caballus that we know today. When digesting the fiber, cellulose, lignin, protein and carbohydrates found in grass, they produce heat energy which keeps them warm in the winter. It also provides the energy they need for being used as working ranch horses or draft horses, or just as leisure horses that get good exercise every day. Be careful the grass you let your horses have access to is not too rich, otherwise it will cause founder. Roughage in the form of grass hay is the best type of feed to give your horse when he's on good-quality grass to help with ease in digestion.

Can you give horses grass clippings?

No you can't because horses are grazing all the time throughout the day, and only eating small amounts at a time. So when you give them grass cuttings they are eating far much more grass as when they are grazing so their digestive system can't handle all the grass at one time, and it will most probably give them colic, and then they may die.
