Concerning grass clippings --if out of hay!  USE   beet pulp!    Most of 
it is manufactured in Colorado, so its not expensive.  One bag will get 
you through until pasture time.   We use beet pulp with wheat bran to 
balance the Ca/phos  levels  most of the year. 

Use about 16 oz. pulp to 6 oz. bran,  add several quarts of water and 
let soak either overnight or 3-4 hours.   You can add grain mix to this 
or any of your supplements, oil etc.     Horses usually love beet pulp 
and there is normally not a problem, if fed properly.

In the summer, you have to be careful the wet mix doesn't ferment--not 
a problem in the winter months.     We also add the dry beet pulp to our 
custom grain mix, which we store in 2 ton overhead bin.

If getting hay is a problem or is too expensive,  beet pulp is your best 
alternative.
