One of the worst plants is "Ragwort". althouth it tastes bitter and generally horses wont eat it in the field, often bad farmers will quite happily make hay bales with dead ragwort inside. It is a very slow poison and damages kidneys etc. If enough is eaten by the time you notice your horse is ill, it is too late and the damage is done and the vet will have to put your horse down. If you see it growing in your field pull it out and burn it. Dont let it seed. Make sure you buy hay from a very reputable dealer and check the hay for dried ragwort first.
