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.
