We always tossed our stalks, grass clippings (no chemicals used) and other "greens" over the fence to the neighbors horses...they would see us working in the garden or hear the lawn mower and come running down the hill to whinny and beg!!! The neighbor really did not have enough acerage for so many horses, so we let her finish fencing our property and let them graze there, too. They really loved us when we would glean apples...had to make sure the kids understood not to over feed them :wink: :wink:
