Re: [RC] [RC] small acreage,.... - Linda S. FlemmerDepends on the grass you have growing and the weight at which you keep your horses. Our timothy/orcharg grass has tested low in sugars. Our guys are out on it over the entire growing season and acclimate. Mowing to keep palatable grass in the entire field keeps them from nibbling on intensively grazed, short, hi sugar grass. Never a grass founder yet in more than 30 years. I detest seeing horses on mud lots when I can enjoy seeing mine healthy on green pasture. Of course if the horse is glucose intolerant/cushings - that's a different story. Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Kirchner" <dakota.charm@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Linda S.
