If you can get an acre or 2 area that they can eat down to where there isn't a lot of grass, then they can stay on that for most of the time and then you can let them into other, more lush areas for limited amounts of time. I would really worry putting horses that aren't used to a lot of grass on a lush pasture without working them gradually into it. -- Laree in NC Doppa & Mura Simon, Sadie and Sam (the "S" gang)
