What poisonous plants are local to your area? Do you know what to look for in your pastures? Toxic plants may be more prevalent in your area/pasture than you realize. Local Ag Extension offices can be good resources for what to know about in your area. ... See MoreSee Less
Interesting info. Tansy is toxic in Oregon, every spring I pickaxed it out of my horse pasture. Yellow flower. If forage is good, the horses and livestock avoid it, but it’s not good to have in hay and best to wear gloves to pull it. I need to figure out eastern toxic plants now. Thank you.
Are you seeing your hay, feed, board prices going up? Did you know that we can help? Making sure that the diet you are feeding your horse is the right diet is an insurance policy against throwing your feed dollars away on the wrong feed.

How familiar are you with the poisonous plants in your area?Happy #EarthDay!
Our planet is certainly blessed with lots of incredible species, but let’s not forget that not all of them mix successfully. For example, did you know that the plants listed below (many of which are extremely common) are toxic to horses?
The good news is that a 1,000-pound horse has to consume significantly higher quantities of a toxic plant than a smaller animal to be affected clinically. However, some plants are cause for concern since even a curious nibble or repeated browsing over several weeks or months can lead to serious illness or even death. Therefore, it’s in your horse’s best interest that you learn to recognize poisonous plants so they can be promptly removed from your horse-keeping areas.
If you suspect your horse has ingested a poisonous plant: • Remove the horse from the source. • Contact your veterinarian immediately. • Attempt to determine how much of the toxic plant was eaten and when it was eaten.
Pro tip: another commonly overlooked reason a horse may become poisoned, is allowing horses to graze a pasture after it has been sprayed with herbicide but before the weeds have died and disappeared.
As always, contact your veterinarian for more information and guidance! ... See MoreSee Less
