They may have tetanus. Tetanus is one of the leading causes of death and treatment is difficult. The most common sign of a horse with tetanus is having its head and neck down in an outstretched position and feeling stiff. Tetanus is a bacterial infection most often caused by a deep, dirty wound. If you suspect your horse has tetanus, call your vet right away.
