I wonder, do horses have a tendency to stay away from the poisonous plants? I realize one would still want to clear the pastures of these plants, but I wonder if a horse has a natural dislike for them... ?
ReplyDeleteYes Margaret, most horses will avoid poisonous plants if they have plenty to eat but occasionally you'll get one who develops a taste for a poisonous plant.
ReplyDeleteThe danger really arises when an equine has insufficient forage. Also some plants eg. ragwort become more palatable when dried and then they will eat them so it's important to make sure that the hay/ haylage you feed is free from poisonous plants.
