How soon to put horses on topped field?
 

Hey there. The field has been topped (where the horses aren't grazing currently) but I'd like to allow them more grass as the bit they're on is currently burnt off quite badly (as is in many places). Considering it is dry as a bone here and not a spot of rain, when can they safely go back onto this bit of grass? I was estimating about Wednesday (field topped Saturday) but I wanted to see what other people did first. Currently feeding some hay to keep them happy. (Separately, is there anything I can do with the leftover cut grass? Seems like an awful waste but I understand it had to be done to enourage healthy growth!) Cheers! Edited to add, the grass is cut fairly long and I was advised that they'd need to stay off until it dried out. It's not chopped finely in the slightest.
