[RC] Acorns - shermanTitle: MessageMy horses eat acorns from
the approx 40 trees in our pastures as well as the leaves from the oak
trees without any issues. Occasionally, horses can/do develop problems.
Last year, one of my five horses wasn't quite right, nothing specific, but I
knew he was stuffing himself with acorns as he was out 24/7 and not eating all
of his hay. I started keeping him in overnight so he'd eat more hay than acorns
and he was back to his normal self in a few days. I think oaks and
acorns are on the list of plants toxic to horses, but so are apples.
