  • 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!

  • very helpful with my detoxification assignment i have just completed for college. agree with the below comment :)

  • A Fantastic bit of information for someone who is a complete novice to horse care. Gives the basics and is straight to the point.
