<< I'm posting this for a friend of mine who runs a small boarding stable
 nearby. Her sawdust supplier (a lumber mill next door) is telling her
 that their next truckload for her will be cherry sawdust. She is
 concerned about its safety for use as bedding, knowing that black walnut
 is very toxic. Does anyone know if cherry sawdust is safe to use for
 bedding? Thanks for your help.
 
 Her name is Sara, Please e-mail me and I'll pass the info to her

 Thanks! >>

In my book...ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!  A friend of mines horse DIED a few years ago
when his horse ate dry cherry leaves...I would not risk it.
