I keep mine mostly indoors and we live in the city so it's not much of a problem for us. I'm not sure what can be done about getting rid of the stuff... Have you done a google search?
I did search it but not a lot of info with regards to horses. I'm curious if horses eat it. Usually horses (that are fed I should add) won't eat harmful or poisonous plants.

No they don't eat it & it ain't gonna hurt their legs, etc but it is really hard to kill & will take over a pasture if you don't control it or overgraze..

Do you know offhand what chemical you use to kill it?
You'd have to ask somebody that knows more but all I know of is Roundup & that will kill good grass to. It's dead here in NE now so it wouldn't do any good to spray & it puts out a zillion seeds that will come up next year..Burning is good if possible & I try to put brome seed in the spots.It is a fast growing cool season grass that will choke it out eventually...

All of you that have never heard of cheatgrass: Come to Eastern Oregon and walk though the wheat fields in tennis shoes. You will never forget it!
