Dr. Anthony Knight will cover the important poisonous plants in the inter mountain area that are poisonous to horses, providing plant characteristics, the toxic principle in the plant, and the clinical signs that horses are likely to develop if they eat the plants. Whether you are turning a horse out to graze, taking a trail ride in the mountains, feeding hay, or deciding what trees to plant in or around your horse pasture, poisonous plants are always of concern.
