Jim, You are partially correct. You should not feed fescue hay or pasture to pregnant mares within 60-90 days of foaling. It may also have a negative effect on the growth of young horses. The issue is not with the fescue, but rather with the presence of endophytes. If the fescue is certified endophyte free, then it is fine for horses. Chances are if you have an established hay field or pasture containing tall fescue, it is not endophyte free. To the best of my limited knowledge on the subject, the endophyte poisoning does not negatively impact older horses and including non-breeding mares. I hope this helps. Mark Mark
