A horse will typically act a bit 'strange' compared to it's normal behavior. It may also be running a fever or be chilled, it can groan when it's in pain and hold up an injured body part. There may be mucus leaking from it's eyes or nostrils. There are many ways to tell if a horse is sick so long as you know how to look for the signs.

∙ 11y agoThe most obvious thing would be that your horse seems to be acting out of character, i.e., a horse that is normally high-energy and wants to go, go, go seems to be a bit more lethargic. Limping is another obvious sign, especially if the horse has laminitis. Of course there are many other signs (kicking at the belly, biting, bucking or kicking out at you or something, urinating more frequently than usual, looser stools than usual, panting, lethargic activity, dull eyes, uninterested in eating or drinking, running a higher or lower temperature than normal, etc.) and they all depend on what illness or disease the horse has. You would be better off to see your equine veterinarian for more information.

How do you know if a horse has worms?
Most of the time you can see little white worms in the poop (they are very tiny though-they look kinda like maggots, sort of, only skinnier). Other signs are a decrease in weight, especially if the horse seems to have an increased appetite. If your horse is losing weight, check their poop and if you think it is serious enough, call the vet. Better safe than sorry.
