Is Morning Glory toxic for horses?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

Absolutely, and I have known this since I first picked up a halter. You should be absolutely aware of your horse's environment. Not only are many common farm plants toxic to horses, but they will get into anything they can that will harm them. You need to be VERY proactive/protective.

The ASPCA has morning glory on their list of garden plants that are toxic for dogs, so it seems likely that it is also toxic for horses. The dose makes the poison--eating a small amount by accident is probably fine, but be careful.
