The Veternary Medicine Library has an extensive listing of plants that are toxic to animals, including the horse. It is the most comprehensive listing that I have ever seen in my internet research. The library is complete with pictures to help with identification as well. The following are the classifications that are covered:
Descriptions - Pictures of the plants as well as a written description.
Distribution - The geographic area where each plant is found.
Conditions of Poisoning - When and how the poisoning is most likely to occur.
Control - The most efficient way to irradicate the offending plant.
Toxic Principle - Which animals are affected by each poisonous plant?
Clinical Signs - How do you recognize that your horse has been poisoned?
Other References - Suggested further reading.
