Hi everyone,
We have been warned that suddenly changing our horses food from Hay to Grass can cause serious illness. Founder, colic etc. We will be moving them from a paddock area (no grass at all), where we have had them all winter, to a pasture.
They will be hay-fed in the pasture for at least another month until the grass really gets growing (we're in Canada)....but they will still me munching on the grass as it comes up. Will this be sufficient time to introduce them to the grass without making them sick?
Thanks, all help is GREATLY appreciated!
