Rye Grass

[mrsbloggett]

Can anyone post a picture of what rye grass seed heads look like. My mare cannot tolerate Rye grass hay and I want to make sure that the hay I buy doesn't contain it in too high a proportion.

Not sure how to post pics but try googling ryegrass and select images on the top left of the results page.
Long estabished meadow hay should not contain ryegrass as it only survives about 5 years

Its long and thin and where the seeds are its wavy, thats the best way I can describe it.

As Mark says try googling it.
