Negative Positive
Title: Not helpful nor complete
Review: I've had horses all my life, but recently relocated from the dry Southwest to moist Northwest. Thanks to my new neighbors, I discovered an extremely toxic weed growing in one of my pastures - tansy ragwort. I bought this book hoping to educate myself on what else I didn't know that might be growing in my pastures. Believe it or not, tansy, which kills livestock if consumed in very small amounts, was not listed in the book. Things like apples (the seed), castor bean, foxglove, etc. were listed... but these were items that most experienced horse people know about already. I found the information to be too simplistic for my needs, and I would suggest that anyone who keeps horses on their property needs to purchase a more comprehensive book such as "A Guide to Plant Poisoning of Animals in North America". I have given the book only 1 star because I believe it could give a horse owner false assurance that they have adequately checked their pastures for poisonous/toxic plants.
Is the review positive or negative?
