Hello, I recently bought some hay for my horses and found these 2 “grasses” within the hay. I am wondering if you can help identify them so I will know whether or not I can feed this hay to them.

Hello,
One photo looks like it could be the remains of dried common camas pods, Camassia quamash. Look up an image on the internet to see if you concur. I don't have any ideas for the other. The photo is blurry when I zoom in on it. If you would like a positive identification we will need a sample of the entire plant. Alternatively, try to connect with the hay producer to determine what known weeds/plants are growing in their fields.
