Not of the grass is well-established with a good root system. If the grass has been seeded in in under a year, has a shallow root system, is in loose soil and is allowed to be overgrazed, most likely yes.

Why do horse eat only some of the grass in the field?
Horses set aside certain areas in a pasture. Horses have a lounging area, where the grass is very short, this is where the horse can be seen resting, sunbathing or just taking a nap. Horses also have certain areas where the defecate and a horse will not eat where it has defecated. This is why it is a good idea to harrow a field once in a while to increase the usage of a pasture for horses. Also, horses are sometimes picky eaters and the grass over here tastes better than that grass.
Are race horses well fed?
This depends. Most race horses do get the nutrtion and energy they need from their food, however, studies show that the healthiest thing for horses to eat is grass or grass* hay 24/7, grazing, eating dozens and dozens of small meals, instead of 3-4 large meals, as many race horses, and other stall-kept horses are. Another thing is how much alfalfa these horses are fed. If a horse is fed alot of alfalfa, since it is so rich, they can develop life-threatening stones in their stomach that have to be surgically removed. So, each diet is different, and while the majority* get the horses the nutrition they need, they may not get it in the healthiest way (grass or grass hay 24/7) *I say grass hay as in, not legumes, like alfalfa because it is so rich and can cause stones* *I say majority because I am sure there is some loser out there that starves their race horses, however, most people take excellent care of their horses*

Do horses get along with cows sheep and goats?
Ok very good question. I have two horses. I also have cows, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, and 2 farm dogs. 1. Horses and cows are NOT good pasture buddies because: Horses are grass-strippers. They rip out the grass, roots and all, instead of "trim" the grass. Cows are grass-trimmers. They graze the top of the grass, instead of ripping out the grass, roots and all. EXACT opposites. So never put cows and horses int he same pasture together. 2. Horses and goats are fine. Horses stick to eating the grass, while the goats eat the breyers, tree bark, and all of the plants that are poisanous to horses. Perfect match. 3. Horses and chickens. NOPE. Simple. Horses and chickens=horses accidently crush chickens. Trust me, I have experience. 4. Horses and sheep are okay together. I wouldn't recommend it, but, if nothing else is possible, it will work. 5. Horses do well with any other type of Equine. Meaing donkeys, mules, etc. 6. And if you are wondering wether horses get ALONG with other farm animals, well, horses are moody creatures. Trustworthy, kind, and curious, but sometimes moody. SO occasaionally your horse might try to take a snap at your goat or something if he gets mad, or even if he just feels like it. But horses are very companionable animals, so they will get along with pretty much any anilmal, unless that animal gets on their nerves. I hope I answered your question!
