I seem to remember my old vet in So Calif (now deceased-old age) who told 
me that all hardwoods are trees horses should NOT be allowed to pasture 
near or tie to.  In particular the walnut is toxic in the bark.  You know 
your horse best.  If she isn't acting right, then get the vet out there 
right away, or haul her to the clinic for a workup, which would save time 
if something is wrong and she needs treatment.  I don't know if there is 
any antidote for hardwood/walnut bark toxcicity (sp).  When in doubt, get 
proactive.  Better to spend a little now and alot less than later and 
possibly lose the horse.  Keep us posted as to what you find out for 
everyone else, and Good Luck.  Karen Nelson
