My father & stepmother live on a horse ranch in Wisconsin & they haven't had any trouble with the horses eating their plants. The horses prefer hay & grass to anything with thorns for sure. My dad has several butterfly bushes near the corrals & they have never even nibbled them. He actually planted an apple tree & a large carrot patch for them to graze on a couple of summers back & they adore them. He had to get rid of his black walnut tree though, as they did try to eat from it & dad was told black walnuts are poisonous to horses. He has Arabians, so I am unsure if this info is only good for his breed or if it goes for all horses in general.
