well my wifes horse joker died yesterday and we dont know why either. the night before when i feed he was fine the next morning when she went to go to the barn he was lying down and was dead. he wasn't but 8 and was in good health. UTD on his shots we wormed him regular i dont know what happened. no changes to his feed or schedule plenty of grass water is fine he just died.

Have you had any lightning over night? That may be a possibility. Or, the old stand by, he colicked and twisted or who knows. I am sorry for her loss, I just went thru it not long ago, but mine was plenty old enough.

[toddww936]

no we havent had any lighting and i dont know why he would have colicked nothing has changed in the last 3 years.

Sorry to hear of the horse passing, so sad have you done a necropsy?, ususally I do not just bury and say a prayer that the horse was in no pain.

Did he do any cribbing, chewing of wood because of bordom, He could have gotten a splinter and punctured a intestine. We think this is what killed a stud of ours and he was only 4. I had even treated he stall to try to control the issue and made sure he got out into a pasture more often. I checked on him one day and the next day found him dead. Thats what the vet told us he thought it was. Just a thought any how. Sorry for the loss.
