A horse spitting out a ball of grass or dropping the grass is called Quidding. It's what happens when a horse cannot properly chew it's food. This may be done due to poor dental care and the horse would need it's teeth floated to chew properly, or it could be an injury or infection causing pain when the horse eats and instead of continuing to chew the horse spits out or drops the food instead. You should have a equine veterinarian out to check a horse that is quidding as soon as possible.

Not a chance. Llama spit is made of grass, grass, and more regurgitated grass. The exact same stuff that is in your cattle's stomachs. I think your cattle will be just fine. If you don't melt when you get spit on, they won't either.

What does grassing a horse mean?

I've personally never heard the term 'to grass a horse'. However the term to 'putting a horse out to grass' or 'the horse is on grass' are widely used in the UK. I would assume therefore that it would be the same thing as those terms. A horse at grass means it is eating pasture grass and may or may not be supplemented with hay or hard feeds.
