Our daughter bred a 1/2 Andalusian colt out
of a 3/4 Arab mare several years ago. When the colt was about a month old,
he was observed just fine one morning and dead by that afternoon. The vet
did an autopsy and diagnosed a congenitally faulty heart.
Has anyone here had any experiences with horses
suddenly dying?
My father just bought a colt...colt acted fine,
no outward signs of illness, transported less than 5 minutes from point A
to B, and arrived at point B with a dead colt. Colt was not laying in
ackward positioning as of broken neck or anything, but did say the next
morning had a soft ball size of something that came from the
nostril.
Our uncle sold a baby last year bought off the
mama, had been trailered before, went to deliver the baby,was in
transport 10 minutes from home, heard a noise, and that baby was
dead.
Is this common, can they panic to the point of
death? Any ideas?
