Catnip has been listed as a poisonous plant for horses in some references. Palatability of existing plants in pastures is questionable, as in many instances, horses will avoid ingesting poisonous plants when they have adequate feeds to consume. Catnip is an aromatic herb of the mint family (Lamiaceae, or Labiatae).
