Does anyone have an equine companion that is known to seek out new plants to snack on in the pasture?
Changes in the weather in the fall and winter seasons can decrease the amount of grass pasture available to horses, which can lead them to eat plants that they normally wouldn’t. Listed in the graphic are some of the plants that are toxic to horses and their clinical signs to watch out for. Please note that this is not a complete list of the plants that are toxic to our equine friends.
If you suspect that your horse may have ingested one of these toxic plants or notice any of these clinical signs, contact your veterinarian immediately so that they are able to further evaluate your equine companion.
Thank you to the Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

Equine endocrine disorders such as Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID) feature some striking clinical similarities, most notably a predisposition to the development of chronic laminitis. However, the underlying disease biology is quite different in each case.
This graphic describes some key differences to be aware of between the two diseases.
If you have questions or concerns about your horse in regard to EMS or PPID, contact your veterinarian so that they may further evaluate them.
Thank you to the Horse Owner Education Committee for providing this information.

As many horse owners start the process of planning out their fall and winter hay supply, many may be considering purchasing round bales for their equine companions due to cost-effectiveness and greater convenience for feeding pastured animals. However, it's important to remember that there are a few things to consider when choosing between square or round bales.
• Are you equipped/prepared to store your hay correctly?
Improperly stored round bales can lose much of their nutritional value and are also more susceptible to mold, dust, and bacteria growth, which can cause respiratory issues and even colic.
• Are your horses protected from botulism?
Round bales provide an optimum environment for the development of the botulism toxin. This toxin is produced when "Clostridium botulinum" is exposed to the right environmental conditions — such as when forage materials are baled and stored while still damp, or when they include the carcasses of dead animals, like birds and mice.
Prevention of this disease through vaccination is critical, especially in areas where the condition is prevalent (such as Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, California, and Tennessee).
• Are round bales a good choice for your horse?
Horses prone to respiratory conditions usually have increased problems with round bales due to their higher dust content.
• Do you have a feeder to place your round bales in?
Round bales not placed in a feeder can create more waste, which means your horses may not be meeting their nutritional requirements.
• Can you secure high-quality round bales?
Not all hay is created equal. Be sure to choose high-quality hay to meet your horse's nutritional needs and minimize the risk of impaction colic, which increases with lower-quality, less digestible forage.
As always, your equine veterinarian remains your best source of information and advice—consult your horse doctor on best practices when feeding hay this fall and winter!
