Hello Sharon,
Yes I would be worried. I would check all water supplies for
contamination like dead animals etc. I would check all food supplies for
mold, strange color or smell, etc. Check all around the fence lines or
whatever the horse's boundaries are for some newly sprouted poisonous
plants or maybe some cut greenery that a neighbor thinks your horse would
like to eat. Cut out all supplements for a while. I would get a couple
fresh bales of hay preferably from a different store. I have 3 horses
together in a big pen and they eat the same hay. Two years ago there was
something (dust or mold or ?) that I could not detect but it caused a
severe asthma-like attack on one horse but the others were fine. I threw
out 6-8 bales and got different hay and no more problem. Wishing you luck
because it's always nice to have a little,
Don Huston
