Hemlock or Cow Parsley 🌱
Recent years have shown an increase in the presence of Hemlock, a highly toxic plant that can be deadly to horses if consumed.
Unfortunately Hemlock closely resembles Cow Parsley, a non-toxic plant that can also double as a tasty treat.
Hemlock and Cow Parsley can both grow in and around grazing paddocks, and you may also come across them while out hacking this summer—so it’s important to know how to tell them apart.
