  Maintaining a horse pasture

My wife and mother-in-law have horses at our house. There are three paddocks. The biggest one is getting quite long and needs to be cut. My mother-in-law has been mowing and raking the paddock little-by-little; she'll never finish the whole thing. She is worried about the horses getting sick from eating freshly cut grass, hence the need to rake. Is this really a concern? Can I just mow the field and leave the horses off for a day? I know next to nothing about horses, so if anyone has advice/suggestions, please let me know!

Thanks! She's very worried about it for some reason...I think I will try brush hogging it and then go over it with the York rake. Hopefully that will suffice.

  Maintaining a horse pasture

This is what I was hoping to hear -- let the clippings dry out. In terms of just letting the horses eat, I think the pasture might be too big for three horses. Also, I noticed that there are weeds starting to grow and spread; my hope is that mowing regularly will help keep the pasture lush.

If it makes a difference, the pasture the horses are in is a former hay field; up until last year a local farmer cut and baled at least twice a season.
