recieved horse and hound yesterday, where saw an article on poisonous plants, leylandii was featured, does anyone know the effects and toxcidity? My field is halfed fenced with the stuff and the ponies sometimes eat it, never seen any side effects before but now am rather concerned? Have looked it up on the internet and all i can find is that it is a skin allergent. any advice or info would be great!! ta alot!!

I know two ponies that ate leylandii it caused them to tremble and drool slightly. The vet was called before they had an opportunity to eat too much of it and after a night of looking poorly they recovered fine.

I know they can be poisonous, but dont know how I know or who told me but I have always electrified my ponies off from them, as well as the blessed acorns. I just pressumed it because if eaten they were toxic.  |

the only thing ive found on leylandii is that its a skin irritant. but i assume this also means it would irritate the digestive system if eaten
