Alfalfa is often used as feed for horses. It is also fed to cows. Rabbits can eat alfalfa but should be fed timothy grass.
It's not just moldy alfalfa that's bad for them, any moldy hay can cause colic and lead to death.
Good quality hay can provide most of the nutrients a horse needs. Hay can be grass hay (ex. Timothy) or Legume, more commonly called Alfalfa. Legume hays are much higher in protein than grass hays, although, it should not be the only source of forage for young, growing horses, due to its high Phospherous level. Grass hay and Legume hay mixed is a great choice of forage, other than grass, for horses.
Horses commonly eat timothy, orchard grass, and bermuda hay. The type of hay can vary depending on the horse's age, activity level, and dietary needs. It's important to provide horses with good quality hay to maintain their health and well-being.
Tamed horses typically eat hay, grass, grains, and commercial horse feed. It's important to provide them with a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs. Additionally, horses should always have access to clean water.

Alfalfa is used as an animal feed. Horses, cows, sheep it it.
Alfalfa is often fed to horses to give the horse more energy. However, if fed to a horse, it should be in very, very small quantities because alfalfa is a legume- not normal grass- and legumes are very, very rich. Alfalfa will cause stones in the stomach because of how rich it is, and these stones can kill a horse when they grow to a large enough size. I avoid alfalfa at all costs just to be on the safe side, and my horse is fine without it.
Przewalski's eat plants. THey are herbivores. Their diet contains mainly of grass, buds, bark, leaves and fruit. IN zoos, they are fed hay and alfalfa.
Grass. Grass is essential in a horses diet. Aflalfa is a good source of protein, but horses don't need it in excess. Too much alfalfa can result in stones in the stomach that require surgery to remove. A small bit of alfalfa mixed with normal grass, like Bermuda can be good. usually is alfalfa but grass mix with alfalfa is the best for horses.
straw. that is why it is used for bedding.however horses will eat straw also but it has no nutritional value Horses love carrots, they are a popular horse treat. Alfalfa makes very high quality hay with good nutritional value that horses will eat readily. Straw is dried grass, stems more than leaf, and it is dry, tasteless and has little or no nutritional value. Very few horses will eat it if anything else is available, and some horses will not eat it if it is the only food they have access to. You should not feed straw to a horse.
Grass, hay, alfalfa, oats...
I have never heard of 'Cow' Vetch, but i have heard of Crown Vetch and it is toxic to horses. It is best to remove the plant from your property, and feeding alfalfa can help to 'cure' the poisoning. However there is another type of Vetch that is perfectly fine to feed to horses, but is a legume like alfalfa hay and should be fed sparingly.
