We have a tree in our front pasture that has green type nuts on
it. If it is a black walnut then I'm probably going to have
problems as this small pasture is our biggest pasture (no horses
on it yet but soon)..should it be cut down and then let the
pasture sit and get rained on? It might be more than one tree ..
I will double check. I have a walnut tree smack in the middle of
one of my pastures. Horses pulled all the bark off, and the tree
has gradually died. Not one single dead horse though ! The
dangerous time is when you get the chainsaw out. I know a family
that has pastured horses in a pasture with several black walnut
trees with no ill effects. It would still make me nervous though
even though I know the tree itself is not dangerous, just the
sawdust from it's wood. "My biggest fear is that when I die my
husband is going to try to sell all my horses and tack for what
I told him they cost." Article more general; Black Walnut
