>>> Looks like they would founder for sure with all that green!
Actually, not all grasses are created the same, and warm weather
tropical grasses are usully better, like bermuda for
instance......and of course not overfeeding, and keeping up on the
trims so the white line never streches, etc etc etc....Foundered
horses are A LOT of our farrier business, unfortunatley we have found
that it is a human issue more than grass.....Every foundered horse we
have Ever seen in our business foundered because of
humans......either overfeeding with no exercise, or put on full feed
on rich cattle grass that is for cattle to fatten up on before
slaughter. And the rare, got into the feed room and overate
grain..... I have 1 horse who I have in a large paddock and feed LMF
low carb with alfalfa pellets...he does great on that diet, otherwise
my horses are on pasture. In our part of hawaii the pasture grasses
grow year round, which is nice for our feed bill and more natural for
them. We do our best to keep our horses in a natural environment....
