We are about to move our two older horses to a new yard. The yard has eight acres of good grass with it which has not been grazed for two years and is currently about 1.5 feet long.
Both horses are good do'ers - one aged 20 the other 18. Neither horse has history of laminitus (sp? )
My problem is should we top the grass now - with one week before we move in? Or is it true that if the grass is left longer it will contain less sugars, and is therefore less likely to cause laminitus or colic?
