Last year, we were never able to make even one hay
crop due to our drought. This year, we are practically flooded out and
haven't been able to get anyone to cut and bale our fields. So we are
just having to mow the fields to keep fresh growth available for the horses to
graze. However, this year the mowing has left huge piles of cut grass here
and there which we'll probably harrow in. Currently, I'm concerned about
the horses getting into those grass mounds before we get them spread out.
Some years ago, I read somewhere that we should not feed freshly clipped grass
to horses and I can't remember why. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks.
