i don't have a picture of it. anyway, i am pretty sure it is a weed, with berries or some sort of round thing on it that is green, and then turns yellow when it "ripens". it is in arizona too.
i am trying to know because they are in my horses pasture, and i want to see if they are posinous to him or not.
what kind of plant is it? if you think you know, put a picture up of it with the name please. thanks!!

If it looks anything like either of the photos then yes it is the silver leaf nightshade and it is toxic to livestock. I would imagine that includes horses.
It doesn't bother goats at all and sheep somewhat. Read the link you might want to get rid of the plant if that's what you have.

The species is also toxic to livestock.
