Best Answer

Bamboo is listed as non-toxic to horses, however the stalks are very woody and could splinter in the horses mouth, esophagus or in the digestive tract at some point, causing colic or even a perforated bowel that will require resection. The leaves may be OK as a treat but it would be best to avoid it as a food source just to be safe.
