Nice post. I agree
We currently have 5 horses. The most we had is 9. They go from pasture to hay, thats it. Mine are on pasture with cattle as well.
I do feed them decent grass hay, when not on pasture. I keep back some bloomed alfalfa rounds for them in the dead of winter. Don"t know if it matters or not, just what I do.
They are all nice and healthy. Getting them out on pasture is better for their hooves and teeth as well.
We have a good vet that comes out twice a year, and she loves our horses. According to her, we always have good herd health.
I have never had trouble on pasture with horses and cows together. The trouble can come in the winter, if they are yarded up together in closer quarters. The horses are always harder on the cows. They stay seperated then.
I think Dave2 is in germany, where land is at a premium. I"m guessing if he were to run cows and horses together, they"d have to be right on top of eachother. It would be a different game.
In the midwest/west where you can turn them out on acres of pasture, you wont have a problem.

Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
