All About Poisonous Plants

Description

All equines are at risk from plant poisoning and many suffer avoidable illness, or even death, every year. This invaluable guide contains for the first time, superb colour photographs which enable the horse owner to identify the most dangerous plants likely to be encountered throughout the year. Concise plant descriptions are given, together with advice on removal and management. A close study of All About Poisonous Plants will help to ensure safe grazing for horses and peace of mind for their owners. It is an essential reference work for owners, riders, students and examination candidates.
