Ideally you should have four half-acre pastures and rotate them about every two weeks. If you don t have land you can probably find someone who will allow you to keep your horse on his or her land in exchange for a small fee or riding lessons or often just so your horse can mow their pastures. Of course if you have a lot of land, rotation isn t necessary, but it is still desirable to allow time for any worms or diseases to die. If you also have cattle they will kill off many diseases affecting horses and vice versa. When you do rotate with cattle and horses make sure the horses follow the cattle.
Cows eat by wrapping their tongue around the grass and pulling it.
They leave all the grass behind that isn t long enough to wrap their tongue around. Horses eat by biting the grass, allowing them to eat it all the way to the ground. Inc.
