What is the best way to deal with thistles? I have a few large-ish patches on one half of my field which I would like rid of if possible.
Is there an easy way to get rid?

Am I the only one who finds the horses eat all thistles? Never a problem here so long as some grazing time. lol
A few years ago I watched one mare gingerly tackle a huge rosette with large spikes, carefully picking off the leaves then chomping into the base.
ps. Ha, I'm not alone, just saw putasocinit's post.
Oh nettles are adored once cut/pulled and laying around for a day or two.Same approach seem to work for nettles.
BH and Nitty never ate thistles. Nor did Emma. I must have the wrong type of horse. Nits would eat the flowers but nothing more, the other two didn't go near them?
