Tomatoes are in fact poisonous to horses. They along with Potatoes and horse nettle are all part of the deadly Nightshade family. The green portions of the plant contain Atrophine which can slow gut motility to the point of causing a lethal bout of colic. The 'meat' part of the tomato contains Hyoscyamine which affects the nervous system and can cause the pupils to dilate , decrease the saliva production, cause colic, and even hemorrhagic diarrhea (Bloody stool). So no never feed a horse tomatoes.
