- Tall grass is not as bad as you thought. Tall grass is fully expressed grass, at its flowering stage during the growing season, or at the largest leaves stage during non-growing season. Find out what short grass can do to your horse and how long grass can benefit your horse health, your pasture and the wildlife.

Tall grass is good but cities and council force people to cut it down short....
honestly, breeding stock cattle should be getting long grass from time to time as well.
My mustang is too fat, not lamintic and she is on very short 1/8in and it is winter here in USA and i give her vit supplement plus low carb hay. I have another field 6 in grass. The thought of putting her on more grass scares me? It is rainey and some snow. Is my short grass dormant?
Yes it should be dormant - the light levels in February are low to keep it dormant. The only thing to consider is any large change in horse's diet - if it is eating little grass at the moment, to eating more grass (if it's green, that is), give her some stalky rough hay to balance her forage with more fibre. If your field of extra grass is rather brown/yellow, and thus fully dormant, than there is no worry as it's like feeding your horse hay. As for the horse being fat, not sure if you have rug on it when it's out. Keep it without the rug and it'll use its body fat to keep itself warm, thus by spring it'll be leaner. Even in wet weather, horses can cope well, and use their fat to keep themselves warm - which is essentially what getting them fat in summer was evolutionary for, so they can go through lean, wet, cold winter.
