Re: Re: Eating green pine needles

["Claudia Provin" <provincmk@fanninelectric.com>]

    Kim - horses (ordinarily) will not voluntarily eat from toxic live
plants---it is when they (the plants) are chopped up as in wood chips and
lawn cuttings that the danger arises.    The exception would be - if the
horses' pasture/whatever is so devoid of green stuff to eat that they start
eating "anything green".   Example--don't put horses in a dry lot bordered
by decorative yew, etc.
