Draw It Out Horse Health Care Solutions does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. The educational information below is offered to help horse owners make informed care decisions. Always work with your veterinarian when evaluating lameness, injury, infection, swelling, or unresolved pain.
Quick answer: A horse standing camped out may be resting, stretching, sore, uncomfortable, or guarding something. Check context, feet, back, belly, legs, appetite, manure, and behavior.
Posture changes are easy to miss until they become obvious. The first question is whether this is normal for that horse.
