Thanks, Connie Hi Connie! I think you're going to need to have a chat with your hay supplier. You may also need to talk to some other hay suppliers, because you shouldn't be getting horse hay with foxtails in it. Foxtail is a grass with a barbed seedhead that can cause painful sores in the mouths of horses that eat it.The seedheads dig into the horses' cheeks and gums, and can create nasty, infected, ulcerated sores and, in time, abscesses.As a horse-owner, you have two defenses against such mechanical injury to your horses' mouths. First, make it your habit to check your horses' mouths regularly.If you find a sore and can't figure out what caused it, ask your vet to take a look.s a horse-owner, you have two defenses against such mechanical injury to your horses' mouths.
