Hornbeam is not poisonous for horses
For horses, many plants are poisonous. It is therefore very important for horse owners to pay attention to non-toxic plants in the pastures and in the vicinity of the barn. At Hainbuchen horse fans can be carefree. They are not toxic to horses.
Hornbeams are not beeches and therefore not poisonous
When moving into a new pasture, horse owners need to closely inspect the environment and see which plants grow on the pasture or on the edge. If there are hornbeams there is no cause for concern.
While it can be dangerous for horses, if they have eaten only a few beech leaves or beechnuts, this danger does not exist in the hornbeam.
Neither in the leaves nor in the nutlets, as the fruits of the hornbeam are called, are substances that are poisonous to horses.
Tips
