Re: [RC] Kill clover? - heidi

Another thing about clover is that (I hear) it can cause
photosensitivity in some horses, resulting in horrible sunburn and even
liver problems.  My own horse, Shahtahr, has a big bald patch on his
nose, where he used to have a white blaze  - I bought him that way.   He
was kept on 80 acres of clover and alfalfa for most of his life, and my
vet said that could have been why he burned so severely that the hair
never grew back.  :(

Maybe Heidi can elaborate on this, if it's true or not?

Yep, photosensitivity is an issue with some clovers, too...
