Horses and Grass

Horses love grass!!!! When moving a horse from their stall to a pasture you have to be careful. If the horse is not watched carefully and only eats grass then bad things can happen. On a regular basis, for about a week, check the horses knees and down around their hooves to see if they feel warm. If they do you should tell an adult and take the horse into the stable. When this happens and the horse is not being watched then the horse can get really sick and die. Over the summer it is a good idea to feed your horse a little bit of grain each day to mix with the grass and clean out their stomach. This keeps from them getting a stomachache. So always remember to watch your horse and take good care of him or her because they are depending on you!!
