🚫5 Signs Your Horse Might Be in Pain🚫
Your horse can’t tell you when something’s wrong, but their behaviour and body can!
Keep an eye 👀 out for these 5 warning signs:
• Changes in Behaviour — Is your horse suddenly withdrawn, irritable, or unusually quiet?
• Lameness or Stiffness — Favouring one leg, lame, or moving stiffly?
• Loss of Appetite — Refusing food or eating less than usual?
• Excessive Rolling or Restlessness — Could be signs of colic or discomfort
• Sweating or Rapid Breathing — Without exercise, this can indicate pain or stress
If you notice any of these, it’s time to call your vet 🧑⚕️ ☎️ — early detection means we can help make your horse comfortable sooner
