When the grass first comes up in spring, it is very lush and can cause horses to founder just like feeding too high protein feed.
Absolutely limit her access to the first grass of spring by stalling, penning, whatever you need to do.
Later in the year, don't know where you are so I'm making a guess, around mid-June, you can start leaving her out more. Gradually increase her time out and watch her closely.
If you stall her, to help keep her from getting bored, you can scatter her hay around her stall. this means she will have to pick it out and its more like grazing. Some may get fouled, but that's better than if she starts chewing up the stall or worse, figures out how to crib.
