I grew up with horses. Happy for the experience but never again. We bought horses at the sale barn, "fixed" them and resold. We didn't have much money or pasture so the horses got ground staked out all the time. County road ditches, front yard, where ever we had some feed.
Ground stakes are fine for horses properly trained.
We didn't have much pasture and the fences were poor. Upon occasion we'd have a horse get out into the neihbors alfalfa field. NEVER had one founder or get sick. Even then we "knew" that the protein level of alfalfa would burn up kidneys and founder a horse.
I'd put them in the field with the good fence and let the owners worry about the feed. Given a short enough rope I don't think they can eat enough to get into trouble.
I applaud your helping young people persue positive endevers.
