Just wondering, can horses eat Linseed Straw? We have got a massive bale which I am going to use as a XC jump, but was just wondering if horses would/ could eat it? If not, why not?
Thanks,
Jo

I don't know, but wouldn't risk it.
Linseeds contain a compound that breaks down to cyanide on digestion (which cooking, boiling, micronizing etc destroys)
I don't know if the straw would contain it or not.
