My sister and her husband bought two pregnant mares about 2 weeks agne mare foaled a week ago and the other is due in the next couple of weeks.They fenced about five acres of fescue grass for the horse pasture.They have been turning both mares out in the pasture
. I've advised him not to do this,but another family member (His side) told him it won't hurt the mares to turn them out in the afternoon,becuase the morning dew is what makes the fescue toxic OH! I've never heard of "Dew toxicity"
I've tried to talk sense into him,but apparently his uncle is the ONLY person in the world who's owned horses,and he hangs on his every word. Am I wrong about the fescue? Is it okay in the afternoon?
He also told him that they had to leave the foal completely alone for the first 4 weeks
,( foal out weighs them already)but be sure they desensitize the foal WTH??
.These are TOTALLY in-experieced horse owners,with small no horse-sense children.I go over there to help them but I end up having to leave,because it just makes me soooo angry and upset.Families........ OH!
