Most grasses are dormant in the winter...you just enjoy the time off and they will come back in the spring. If you live somewhere where the weather is mild, you could plant rye grass for the winter over the other grass and you will see green grass.

Regular Rye grass that dies off in the winter will likely not harm a horse, however winter or perennial rye grass can contain the same toxins as fescue grass and cause the same problems in pregnant mares due to the endophyte toxin found in it. Rye Grass is also high in sugar and starch and should be tested before feeding.
Generally the summer heat will kill rye grass that is taking over. If it doesn't get hot enough in your area you can use a non persistent-contact herbicide made for weeds, not grass, and spray the rye grass.

Yes but make sure the fescue has been close first before you apply the rye grass, otherwise the fescue, which is a very competitive grass, will take over the ryegrass.
Yes it is a species of grass. Rye grass can be further divided into different types of grasses, including the domestic crop Rye, the wilder Russian Wild Rye, Altai Wild Rye, etc.
The rye grass's country of origin is the U.K.
yes
Annual ryegrass is also known as lolium multiflorum. It is a very aggressive type of grass that seems to adapt to many environments very quickly. It is an awesome grass (glossy look) for lawn for a quick fill (only lasts for one season) and looks great in the winter, but is a terrible weed in cereal crops such as winter wheat. Ryegrass should not be confused with rye. They are completely different species.

If growing conditions are good, some types of rye grass can germinate in about seven days. For grass to mature, it can take between 30 to 45 days after germination, depending on the grass type. Rye grass can be either a perennial or annual plant.
