Yesterday we lost another horse to Sycamore poisoning, that makes 5 in the last 6 months. We lost 4 in November last year and 1 yesterday. After the initial deaths were diagnosed, 4 within 10 days, the remaining horses were taken off the fields and kept in stables for about 6 weeks. Everyone went round the fields picking up seeds, and this spring we've been pulling shoots. Parts of the fields have been fenced off and some trees have/are being cut down. All the horses that died were elderly, i.e. in their 20's.
Is mowing your fields and over-seeding helpful to choke out weeds. It stands to reason if you have a good foundation of grass, weeds will have no place to root
