Should horses be removed from a pasture when spraying for weeds and, if so, how long to keep them off the pasture?

With any herbicide or pesticide, you should carefully read and follow the label directions.
If the label does not contain specific information about horses, look for livestock recommendations. If there are none, you should contact the manufacturer about recommendations for safe application to horse pastures. It is always a good practice to remove horses from a field while spraying.
