Beth,

Pear trees are OK.  Our four guys loved them. ;-) 

I put our four in a new field last winter that had a
Bradford pear tree.  In a days time they ate all the
low hanging twigs and leaves and most of the bark.  I
thought they had killed the tree for sure.  Luckily
this spring the tree came back.

We now have a hot wire around the trees to keep the
hooved beavers at bay.

No ill effects on the horses eating the pear leaves. 
They also have a taste for our two peach trees.  Now
if I only could convince then to eat the cedars.

Cheers, Pete in TX
