Common poisonous plants for horses
Knowing the plants that can harm your horse can be very helpful when you are
visiting the pastures of the barns where you would like your horse to live in, or when
you go somewhere else with your horse. Normally, your horse wouldn’t eat most of
these plants because they are unpalatable. However, if your horse has a good reason
like being hungry, he will eat them for sure. Eating these plants can lead your horse
to serious illness and even death (AAEP, No year of publication).).arolina Ramelli
