Just a quick question... As horse owners we're mostly all familiar with the battle against ragwort and how it has spread into every field, central reservation and grass verge in the country, but how many of us know anything about mares tail?
Horse or Mares Tail, (scientific name Equisetum Palustre), is toxic to horses and should in my opinion be equestrian enemy number one. It looks like it belongs in Jurassic Park and spreads like wildfire. From a few small patches last year my paddock is now covered in it and it looks as if it's spreading fast and here to stay.
I've been researching this plant and what I've discovered doesn't make for pleasant reading.. more at Mares Tail - Toxic To Horses
The British Horse Society (BHS) has been awarded a grant of over 8,000 pounds to create a database of facilities for horse riders in the UK.
The £8,115 pound grant from Awards for All will provide funding for the Geographical Information System (GIS) project, which will be used to build up a database of equestrian information, illustrated
with images, data and digital Ordnance Survey maps.
