    Has any one ever had a problem with horses getting sick from eating hickory nuts?

    Can’t say a thing about horses but deer and bears sure like them. As a forester I have never heard that they were poisonous.

    Both my horses have been eating hickory nuts, mostly the shells after the squrels open them up and take the nut. They sound like they are chewing rocks. It has been a few days and they seem fine. I tried to find info on line some say they have toxins like walnuts others say they wont hurt horses.
