What kind of plants do horses not eat

[raiderbabe239]

i just got a new house and want to move a few of my chickens over there but there is only trees and bushes around the outside edge of the property and there are TONS of red tailed hawks around, sooo im going to get some bushes and plant where there is no place for them to get under cover quickly but the horses will be out there also and they seem to eat EVERY bush,plant,tree, or anything ever in there pasture. does anyone know of anything i can plant that will give my chickens cover without the horses eating it? thanks

Wish I had that answer but I don't. I've seen the hawks here go under low thick brush to get their prey.

I found my pig horses will not eat Virginia Creeper, but it doesn't offer much cover.

I too would like to hear of suggestions!
