My horse just ate almost all the scotch broom in her pasture in a few days. There's plenty of grass and she gets grass pellets and hay. She's fat. All of a sudden, she just craved it. We are now trying to pull it, chop it, get it out of there. She is pulling it out of our hands and out of the wheel barrow. I've never seen anything like it! It's like she's addicted to it! We are running blood work on her but won't probably know if there's serious damage for awhile.
Scotch broom is listed as toxic to horses and should be removed as quickly as possible from any area they could come in contact with it. It is also listed as an invasive species, so it's not native and should be eradicated when found. You can contact a local agricultural extension agency on the best way to remove it permanently.
