I've just taken over an allotment which is horsetail from head to toe,
and I'm currently trimming it daily or every other day. I know I have to
remove any root piece or fertile brown stalks that I find. My question
is,
can the green ferny stems root themselves and keep growing, or can I
safely
leave them where they are when they've been cut down?

Yes they can be left where they fall~~ but there is no end in sight.
You can go on for a lifetime and it will be even more vigorous. The only
solution is to treat it with commercial/ professional strength Roundup or
similar.
Some local councils will help, as with knotweed.
Best wishes Brian.
