They wil lbe darker as he is on more grass time... Sounds like a good poo to me...Not that I am an expert on horse poo..:o

To me that says better and more forage :D they are firmer as he is acctually digesting more of the goodness just leaving the real roughage, and darker as fresh forage tends to be darker, I also noticed that horses on alot of haylage often have lighter poo - I guess because the haylage ferments and looses alot of its colour ending up that mousey brown colour.

could it be that the grass time is the same, but there is more grass and probably different grass then

He's not on any haylage any more either is he.

The hay will make it firmer.
