Is it a sort of cammomile?

If it is then it's a herb.

I hope not all the horses at our yard love it

I didn't know that was the name of that plant!! I don't think it is harmful, but am certainly not sure.

I *think* it's harmless.

It's camomile.

It it's chamomile then no, it's not poisonous and in fact you can brew it and make tea from it

The calming effects work on horses too, apparently

It's a close relation to it, so maybe it is beneficial. It's definitely pineapple weed though.

Pineapple weed i have been told to give to my horse as he is recovering from surgical colic as it is like a natural antibiotic and helps the digestive system and is in the horses nature instinked to eat it when it feels ill. it is also a good way of keeping a good healthy working digestive system.Also been told it has saved a horses life that took an illergic reaction to antibiotics and then took colic and getting it to Pineapple weed saved the horses life. Hope this helps any one.

Patches it definitley ISNT poisonous.

I looked into this years ago when loads sprouted through the gravel path on the old yard and the horses went mad on it.

Its fine.
