Do horses out on range in the wild founder on grass?


I doubt it. The range has a couple of characteristics that make it unlikely.

1. The grass is a variety of "natural" grasses, weeds, and scrub. It's not 
over-seeded, overly rich grass that was created to fatten up cattle.

2. Horses on the range eat that grass all the time. They phase onto new spring 
grass as gradually as possible -- beginning with the first few bites as they 
appear. So no sudden changes to their digestive system.
