Have just finhed two new ponds and both have filled with water. We have horses and mules and I am wondering if there is some grass I could use on the pond banks that the horses will not like to eat as well as the grass in the pasture, so the pond banks will maintain the grass on them. Also the ponds are muddy as you would expect - but are there any tips for clearing them up? I live in the Northwest corner of Arkansas so grass will need to suit climate here. Also would appreciate any info on stocking fish types and the ratios to stock.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Not sure what horses won't eat. Fish types and ratios are dependent on your goals, likes, dislikes and $$$.
BTW, welcome.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Steve, I have no experience raising livestock, so I can't give you a first hand answer about the grass. What are your goals for the pond? We can recommend stocking from your answer.
