 Weeds in the horse pasture?


Pasture maintenance is necessary for controlling weedy grass species that can be dangerous to horses.

Invasive grasses such as cheatgrass and foxtail barley are dangerous to horse health—their barbed seed heads work their way into animals’ ears, teeth, and skin, causing pain, infection, and abscesses. But controlling a grass weed is difficult in a grass pasture or hay field, because any herbicide that controls the grassy weed will also damage the rest of the desirable pasture grasses.
