Wheat straw is normally used as bedding quite safely.If your horse eats too much of it ,it could cause colic as feces become impacted.Oat straw can be chopped and fed as chaff many chaff mixes contain oat straw.I wouldn't feed straw as colic is very painfull and disstressing and can kill.Chaff based mixes are a good source of fibre and safe to feed.If your using straw as bedding and your horse tends to eat it ,use diluted citronella or eucalyptus and spray over it should stop him/her eating it.
