Are there more than one type of thisles... Are they poisonous during
certain stages if growth?
I've seen the herd eat and relish the big purple flower during their
green stage... or are these not "star thisles"? Yet this lady freaked
out on me this weekend when Mystery grabbed a bunch of grass and there
was a drie
d out thisle in it. Told me it was "poison directly to the brain"....
By the way, since my training question, we've gone out with strange
horses and ones we know and have practiced staying in the rear, calmly
and leap frogging on the trail with the willing participants. He is
coming along
very well and thanks again for the excellent input.
We will probably practice with No. Am Trail Riders before trying
Endurance rides... What is the major differences between the two
anyways?
Thanks, Kimberly (& Mystery the Morab)
(Who people also claimed "acted up because he is half arab" ..of course
they all have quarter horses! )
