Ragwort is poisonous to horses and damages the liver when consumed, in this video ILPH Chief Field Officer Paul Teasdale and Professor Derek Knottenbelt of the Liverpool University point out the facts about this poisonous plant.

Thanks for this, alot of people don't know about it. I lost a foal to ragwort from his old home and 2 of my other horses also have liver damage from it, luckily we caught it in time and can save them. All the horses I have had have never had ragwort done in their previous home. It is also poisonous to us. A local school had to shut down as the children were playing in ragwort and were coming home sick and with rashes!
