yard stable & paddock buttercups are poisonous? Motorbikes and horses
Buttercups in hay Buttercups are non-toxic when dried so you don’t need to worry if you find them in hay or haylage.
Removal of buttercups Buttercups are obviously undesirable in your horse’s pasture and being an extremely invasive plant they need to be removed. Buttercups thrive in poor compacted soil, so aerating
and draining the soil will help reduce numbers. Harrowing breaks the runners and reduces numbers. They can be killed by the use of a suitable weed killer but you should note that buttercups appear to be more palatable to animals after the use of weed killers and there is a greater risk of poisoning. Treated pastures should not be grazed for at least two weeks after the use of herbicides.
When Kristi Wintringham and her friend Miska Mascall visited their local pub recently, it was an outing with a difference, as Kristi explained to Equine ...
“Our local pub is The Golden Lion at St John’s Chapel in Weardale [County Durham] and is where the Weardale Lions Motorcylce Fraternity host a weekly barbecue for bikers. Weardale is well known in the biking community for great roads and
it’s also a remote and beautiful dale where we live and keep our horses.
“We thought that a visit to the pub would help with building bridges between riders of different kinds of horsepower. We can all enjoy the countryside as long as we respect each other. As you can see from the photograph, our visit was well received!”
