The vet is right, 1,000's of horses are dying each year because of comments like you were hearing. Dr Derek Knottenbelt, a very respected famous vet has been campaigning for years to get people to listen and do something.
Just because the horses look ok when they are grazing in amongst the plants, and go on for years apparently without any harm, doesn't mean they will not die of liver failure. Too many people have their heads in the sand. Ragwort is a slow but silent and deadly killer or horses, it accumulates over years in the liver until there is so much damage to it, it cannot funtion any more and the horse dies of liver failure.
Hey guys, my horse got into bad hay that contained ragwort belong to a neighbour and I don't know what to do? The vet says there isn't much he can do, any advice?
