Dogwood (trees and shrubs) do not show up on any of the typical lists as being a toxic plant for horses such as the ASPCA. As it does not show up as being toxic on several toxicity lists, dogwood should be fine planted around horses.
If you have any further concerns, please check with your horses' veterinarian.
Some people suspect so but it hasn't been proven. Most likely the reason they suspect so is because on a breeding farm where many of the horses are related, all the horses are often trimmed and/or shod by the same farrier, and what actually causes navicular is improper trimming and shoeing. It has been proven that all horses with navicular have long, underslung heels and bars that contact the ground or shoe. Constant hammering on these bars through daily excercise injures the navicular and structures around it, resulting in navicular syndrome. So, when on a breeding farm where all horses are trimmed by the same farrier, the farrier they use may allow underslung heels and long bars, thus causing navicular seem hereditary while it is actually the work of the farrier, not genes.
Why didn't my horse lose all his winter coat this summer?
Some horses need help losing their winter coat, so you should shed them out every time you bring them in to groom them. Also, some horses have long coats all year round, so they need extra shedding when the weather warms up. If this has never happened to your horse before, you may want to ask someone with a lot of horse experience about it.
Along with the above answer, a unshed or partially shed winter coat can mean the horse is developing a condition called 'Cushing's'. It is caused by the body getting 'out of whack' and messing up the levels of cortisol in their systems. This can cause them to develop the unshed coat, patches of fat on their bodies and other symptoms. You should have a equine vet come out and check the horse to be sure it is not Cushing's.

What could it be if a horses mane falls out?

If you are concerned about your horse's health, consult your veterinarian for a diagnosis and treatment.

They are rounding up the horses for auction. They say the mustangs are over populated and need to be removed, but that is rarely the case, they remove more than needed to make more room for private cattle to graze on public lands. The round ups are cruel and not very well run.
