Yes.
When horses eat too much grass, they can colic and founder or become laminitic.
Colic is basically pain in the gastrointestinal system of the horse, which may be caused by many things. It is the #1 reason for emergency visits by a veterinarian. It is also often fatal and must be treated quickly.
Founder is what happens when a horse has laminitis: a systemic condition that results in the destruction of the tissues inside the hoof. Inflammation occurs and because there is nowhere for inflammation to go inside a rigid structure like the hoof, the tissue inside dies. When this happens there is no longer any tissue to hold up the bone inside the hoof and it falls (called foundering, after what happens to ships when they sink). When this happens the coffin bone may rotate and fall so far that it comes out through the bottom of the hoof. This is usually fatal.
If over-eating, the horse will become fat, which can have terrible effects on its health.
