The current move away from the extensive use of agricultural
chemicals and the employment of more traditional methods of farming
means that the number of different plant species is on the
increase. Along with the nutritional benefits that this brings,
there is also a risk that many potentially poisonous species of
wild plants may return in greater number, together with those
which, although not outright poisons in themselves, may be toxic to
some degree. Most horse owners are aware of and can identify plants
which are the most common cause of poisoning such as ragwort, yew,
laburnum and bracken, but other dangerous species such as cowbane
or hemlock are not usually referred to except in specialist
literature. This book lists over 50 plants which are commonly
regarded as being poisonous in their own right. An illustration and
profile of each is given, together with its prevalence, poisonous
principle and symptoms.
