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.
Horses should not be fed chips as they are not a part of their natural diet and can be harmful to their health. It's best to stick to feeding horses hay, grass, grains, and other foods that are safe and appropriate for their digestion.

It takes about two weeks for the symptoms to disappear and one of the best ways to diagnose sage poisoning is to smell the horses breath and manure, if they smell like sage then it is likely sage poisoning.
