<< Also, do any of you have particular warnings about trees that are toxic to horses? I know laburnum is - or so the books say.

Also, I'd be careful of apple trees, especially with fjords! We have 5 on our property, but NOT in the pastures. I could just see the fjords gorging themselves on all the little green apples!! We have a huge pine tree overlooking our back pasture, it makes great shade and we don't seem to have any problems with it (though I have to check that no branches fell off in our windstorm last night).
