Why is my horse stretching with feet forward, head low? Colic?

Question

My horse is stretching with feet forward and head almost on the ground. What am I dealing with

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

It sounds like your horse is stretching out in pain, and the most common cause of that in horses is colic. This is a medical emergency, and I would call an equine vet to come out to see your horse now.
