Carrots are another similar example where, on a dry matter basis, the sugar level is high, but because they contain lots of water, the sugar level in the carrot as fed is much lower making them suitable as a treat if used in moderation. The British Horse Society and the RSPCA have some useful pictorial guides to common poisonous plants.

As pastures have changed over the years the availability of many of these plants has disappeared this palatable blend can be added to your horse's feed to ensure he receives all of the goodness that nature intended.

Dodson and Horrell Hedgerow Herbs include nettle and mint for a healthy coat, skin, and immune system, as well as oregano and rosehips for a source of natural antioxidants.

Mixing the hedgerow items through the usual forage encourages the horse to “forage” or sort through the different materials looking for those that are tastiest.
