Usually stomach cramps in a horse or pony is referred to as colic. Horses are unable to breathe though their mouths and do not have the ability to vomit. Therefore, the condition must be treated to move ingested matter out the back end.
Typical symptoms of colic are lying down and standing up repeatedly, pawing the ground and in more severe cases, a horse could throw themselves against a wall or fence in response to the pain.
The types of colic are gas colic and that due to a blockage. This is why you need a vet as soon as possible to make the right determination and perform the appropriate treatment.
In cases of colic, the best thing to do is to call the vet as soon as possible. In the meantime, the horse or pony should be kept up and moving and not be allowed to eat.
A more experienced person would know to inject a horse with Banamine which is a prescription drug used to ease the discomfort. Seasoned horsemen typically have this on hand in case of a case of colic.
If you are unable to determine what ails your horse or pony, please call a vet as soon as possible. Colic can cause death unless treated properly and in a timely fashion.
