I don't know of any herbs that are used for flavouring food or for home medicine that are toxic to horses, but before you feed anything to your horse you should check it against a book of poisonous plants. If your horse is sick and you would like to try herbal medicine, I strongly recommend calling your vet first. I have known several cases where traditional medicine failed and herbs helped, but some herbs can clash with some medicines. If your horse is seriously ill, the chances of its illness being cured or greatly helped by herbal medicine are very poor and you should call the vet. The vet can also advise you if the treatment you have chosen is likely to be effective and whether it is safe in your case. If you do decide to give herbal medicines a go, never exceed the recommended dosage and use the herbs only as per the instructions on the package, as some essential oils in particular can be very helpful when inhaled in steam or used in baby oil to massage the horse, but toxic if it swallows them.
