Me neither. If there is grass at a vet check, my horse will pass on
everything else to graze - which is just fine with me. In fact old Jordy
will try to put his head down on the trot outs and snach a mouth full of
grass. He's gotten pretty good at it and the head vet at the Pirate Run
said "that's what I like to see - trot and eat."
