Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. "Slobbers"- excessive drooling with no other signs, can be due to a few different things (rabies, insect bite, etc.) however if all of the horses are doing it a mycotoxin is most likely. Clover can sometimes cause this, especially after a rain. It is usually a fungus. You can try switching the pasture. If there are any other signs aside from just drooling then I would get a vet out right away, but if they are just drooling try changing the pasture, or check the feed for mold. Best of luck with your horses!
