We've just moved house and we've managed to have hay cut from some of our land. There's some leftover dried grass lying aroung - how long before we can put the horses on this newly-cut pasture? Will this dried grass that's lying around have the same effect on them as grass clippings :eek: or, because it's the same stuff as is baled up in the shed, will it be OK to put them on that land after a week or so (as we need to get the field we were grazing them on topped and harrowed.)

Sorry if this is a real numpty question ... just never had own land before and the yard we were at always bought in hay so no-one I have easy access to has much of an idea either. Planning to check with vet this week too :)
 
I had my fields topped and my horses went straight back on the grass.....I believe it is just mowed grass that is dangerous to horses....
