However, in general, it's very important to be cautious about what you feed your horse. Many grasses can be toxic to horses, and some may even be fatal.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
* Always consult with a veterinarian or an equine nutritionist before introducing any new food to your horse's diet.
* Avoid feeding horses grasses that are known to be toxic, such as:
* Johnsongrass: Can cause cyanide poisoning.
* Foxtail: The seeds can lodge in the horse's respiratory tract.
* Nightshade: Contains alkaloids that can be toxic.
* Milkweed: Can cause heart problems.
* Pay attention to your horse's behavior and health after introducing any new grass. If they show signs of illness, such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or diarrhea, contact your veterinarian immediately.
It's best to err on the side of caution and stick to grasses that are known to be safe for horses.
