Some idiot as put grass cuttings in one of the fields today, don't know how long they had been in, but horses were having a nibble, how long does it take for them to become ill, horses are pooing but very loose. Thank you

Do you know where it came from? If it's cut grass from a field that isn't regularly mowed the horses may be absolutely fine as long as they didn't gulp down too much too quickly. I'm assuming you took out the rest. If it's from a lawn it could cause colic and/or laminitis but if they seem to be pooing ok and didn't eat too much they may be alright. Just keep a close eye on them...
