It would reduce it a lot. Hay is dried because those fungi need moisture to grow, so it's either kept in a shed or wrapped up in plastic. Horses can also pick up fungi or bacterial toxins from silage that hasn't been fermented properly.

Basically, any time you try to feed a horse something other than grass, there's a risk. Mind you, I can think of a few potential problems feding grass too!

What's life without a little risk?
