Hungry or thirsty horses are more likely to eat poisonous plants, as are those pastured on overgrazed lands. [5] Animals with mineral deficiencies due to poor diets will sometimes seek out poisonous plants. [6] Poisonous plants are more of a danger to livestock after wildfires, as they often regrow more quickly. [7]
Poinsettia is similarly only mildly toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, [120] and very rarely necessitates veterinary treatment. [121] Excoecaria agallocha: milky mangrove, blind-your-eye mangrove, river poison tree Euphorbiaceae: Contact with latex can cause skin irritation and blistering; eye contact can cause temporary blindness.

The species, like many others within the genus Gastrolobium, contains high levels of fluoroacetate (the active ingredient in the pest control toxin known as 1080) The leaves, seeds and roots are highly poisonous to cattle, sheep, horses and goats. Major livestock losses have been attributed to the plant in Queensland.

Additionally, goats and horses forage differently, with goats preferring to eat weeds and vining plants (like poison ivy) while leaving tender grass shoots for the horses.
Solanum carolinense, the Carolina horsenettle, [2] is not a true nettle, but a member of the Solanaceae, or nightshade family. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, native to the southeastern United States, though its range has expanded throughout much of temperate North America. [3]
Ingestion of silverleaf nightshade has been implicated as a cause of ivermectin toxicosis in horses given the recommended dosage of the drug. Metabolites from the plant are speculated to disrupt the blood–brain barrier , allowing ivermectin to enter and disrupt neurotransmitter function in the brain and spinal cord.
Onobrychis, the sainfoins, are a genus of Eurasian perennial herbaceous plants of the legume family ().About 206 species are presently accepted. [1] The Flora Europaea lists 23 species of Onobrychis; the main centre of diversity extends from Central Asia to Iran, with 56 species – 27 of which are endemic – in the latter country alone. [2]
