In response to last weeks trees and shrubs.
A: Laburnum, this is poisonous to horses. Normally this is an ornamental tree, not many grow wild.

B: Oak, many horses graze in fields containing Oaks with no problems. The trees levels of toxicity appear to vary as toxins vary in the tree throughout the year. The biggest problem occurs in Autum with horses eating large amounts of acorns.

C: Rhododendron, A poisonous plant, common ornamental plant, that has spread in to the wild in some areas.

D: Hawthorn, Not poisonous (but prickly)

E: Sycamore, This is poisonous, especially seed and leaves on ground in Autum and the seedling in spring. This causes Atypical Myopathy, that is frequently fatal. There is still research going on into why some horses are affected more than others.

F: Yew: Poisonous, More likely to be found as hedges, and is still poisonous when dry (hedge clippings).

Many poisions are complicated and vary at different times of the year, for futher reading we would sugest: BHS Website https://www.bhs.org.uk/horse-care-and-welfare/health-care-management/pasture-management/poisonous-plants/ or https://www.worldhorsewelfare.org/advice/welfare-wednesdays/poisonous-plants-to-horses?_gl=1*wrhygi*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..*_ga*MTQ3NzkzMDY4Ny4xNzg3MjE1Nzc4*_ga_F188RKLLTN*czE3ODcyMTU3NzgkbzEkZzEkdDE3ODcyMTU3OTMkajQ1JGwwJGgw&gclid=CjwKCAjwy5rUBhB5EiwAIoAtCjzVuaf9RNqk7zZf7hi1RVRRd_6pOmRXNj9QbvobN6Nl-5FV2yxeGhoCRXgQAvD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAADokhkaqffybHGq57WmvyztjQe-6f
