Horsetail. It is toxic to horses, sheep and cattle if they eat the stem so you will want to get rid of it.

Hi Mary,
We have llamas in this pasture, do you know if it poisonous to them?
Also, do you know what the other plant is?
Thanks, Mary!

They are younger versions of horsetail. Notice the stem similarities. Check with your vet regarding lamas and poisonous plants. They probably have a list or a website that would be helpful.
