Description

Horse Owner’s Guide to Toxic Plants: Identification, Symptoms, and Treatments is organized according to types of plants—trees, bushes, shrubs, and vines, ferns and plants, weeds and wildflowers, and grasses and horsetails. Since visuals are very important for correct identification, clear color photographs are shown, including wherever possible a close-up photograph and line drawing to better identify each plant. Horsewoman Sandra McQuinn has researched and compiled information on more than 100 more common but toxic plants that grow in backyards, pastures, and on the range and trail. Also included is advice from a veterinarian on how to recognize the symptoms of poisonings in your horse and what steps you or your own veterinarian should take if you suspect your horse has eaten a toxic plant. Brimming with pertinent information and expert advice, Horse Owner’s Guide to Toxic Plants is a must-have for all equine aficionados. No horse owner should be without it, including those who board their horses.

I was excited when I found this book! Our Lawrence County Ohio 4 H group needed a project for the county fair . This book Includes color pictures and wonderful description of each poisonous plant, and which states they grow. A great book for every horse owner!

This book has detailed pictures, descriptions of symptoms/cures, where the plants are located geographically, and lists different ways to identify the plants. Definitely worth reading. Very informative and direct to the point. This book is exactly as described a horse owners’ guide to toxic plants found in nature. It should be in everyone’s stable. Thank you for researching all these plants and breaking them down for us. It will probably save countless horses from falling ill
