My friend trains show jumping horses. Recently he has discovered his top horse wasn't eating at all. He figured it out after a while the horse had been eating nothing but leaves from a adjoining field. He wont eat anything now expect leaves and refuses a horses normal diet.He gets violent if you refuse him leaves.The vet says he wont last long but he's still with us.

I would try to keep all leaves picked up out of the field - there are some species of tree that can be very harmful for your horse to eat!

It depends some leaves wont hurt the horse. if it's red maple get ur horse away from it it will make them very sick and then they will die!

PUT HIM IN A STALL OR A DIFFERENT PADDOCK WITH NO LEAVES SO HE CAN EAT HAY!!!! For a top show horse, i am sure you could do this....
