No you can't because horses are grazing all the time throughout the day, and only eating small amounts at a time. So when you give them grass cuttings they are eating far much more grass as when they are grazing so their digestive system can't handle all the grass at one time, and it will most probably give them colic, and then they may die.

No, it is not recommended to feed horses grass clippings as they can ferment quickly and cause digestive issues such as colic. It is better to provide horses with fresh, quality hay or pasture grass for their diet.

Does grass die if there is grass clippings on top on it?

Yes and no. Some modern lawnmowers are designed to 'mulch' the grass. That is, when used without the grass collection box/bag, they chop the clippings very fine and dump them on the lawn as you mow. This, if done every second or third cut, actually helps the lawn by feeding it. The grass needs to be quite short already to do this. If it is too long the mower will continually clog. If you leave heavy grass clippings on you lawn you will prevent light from reaching the grass and therefore stop photosynthesis and the grass under the clippings will die.

Should you feed your horse grass clippings?

Fresh grass clippings may cause choke as they are damp and will ball together in the horses mouth and esophagus when it swallows. If the mass makes it down into the stomach it may be hard for the stomach acid to break the ball of clippings up and it could pass into the intestines intact causing a blockage and colic, which may require surgery. Another factor is chemicals from the lawn mower possibly leaking out unnoticed and then poisoning the horse when it eats the grass clippings. If you wish to feed grass to a horse, simply pull it up by hand and give it as a treat, or let the horse hand graze in areas where it is safe to do so.
