Did you know that Buttercups are Poisionous to Horses?

Buttercups contain an irritating alkaloid that can cause increased salivation, blistering and inflamation of the mouth. But, fortunately most equines won't eat Buttercups as they have a burning taste and the good news is that when Buttercups are dried they are no longer toxic, so you don't have to worry if you find the odd one or two in your horses hay.
