Ok here comes my stupid question, and one that I have always wondered in my 30 years of horse owner ship!!!
Grass cuttings are bad, yes
But why when a horse eats grass tips, does it not have the same harmful effect? If the grass cuttings are fed instantly, then how is if different to a horse chewing it up?
Told you it was a stupid question
Mowed grass is mashed when being cut, and starts breaking down almost immediately, if you scatter it , it will dry in the sun/wind, but if you pile it up it will ferment very quickly! So it does the same in the horses gut!
