Stomach pains which are called colic in horses is a leading cause of death. Diarrhea tends to not be too much of a problem until the horse becomes dehydrated. At the first signs of colic a equine vet should be called, which can save the horses life. If a horse is experiences an episode of diarrhea, then you should investigate the cause and possibly call the vet if is persists for more than a day. The vet can administer fluids and possibly a stomach aid to help solidify the manure.
