Signs of Spring: Brat Kicks Up Mud

I finally learned the names of the neighbor's horses from Matt. Brat is this brown horse and Cutter is the white horse that loves to roll in mud. And we are in mud season now! The horses are frolicking quite often again.

Seen growing near river in open sun and sand. Do you know what this is?

This is the fertile stem of Field Horsetail (Equisetum arvense). It is a problem in pastures and can cause illness in lifestock. I would like to thank Wildlife Gardener for help with the identification.
