Zoysia has quite a few weaknesses as a pasture plant. While, it may be tough enough to tolerate harsh conditions and heavy traffic, making it good for lawns, it isn’t very tasty or good for horses. The grass produces mildly toxic substances, which are meant to repel pests, but can irritate horses. Therefore, it may be best to steer clear of zoysia grass for use in a pasture.
