I'm am nowhere near a vet but i am an avid horse lover. based on what you said it is probably a case of colic. Colic can become very severe. A riding instructor i know, one of her horses had colic and died. i would probably contact your vet, soon!

∙ 12y agoIt could be one of several problems. Horses use certain behaviours when bored or unhappy or both. This may be your horse trying to tell you he would rather be doing something else. It may be he has sensitive skin and the grooming may be a little 'rough' for this horse. Try a lighter, softer brush, such as a face brush instead of a dandy, mud or stiff brush, and try a lighter hand while grooming. Remember to go easy on the face, legs and belly (sensitive and ticklish).

How do you describe a angry horse?
An angry horse will put his ears far back on his head, almost flat. His eyes will roll and he will often shake his head violently up and down. He will also swish his tail back and forth, meaning that he is irritated or angry. Sometimes a horse will rest one back hoof tensly on the ground and stretched back -- if this is the case, DO NOT go behind the horse, as he may be ready to kick and a horse kick to the head can be dangerous or even fatal. If a horse is in his stall, he will often have many of the same motions and movements, but you should be more careful in a stall given the limited amount of space and the unpredictability of a really angry horse. If a horse is out in pasture, he will often run, buck (or kick out), rush you, along with the other signs that he is mad.
