Get the horse up. You are going to be walking. Repeat what you did and get him moving. Tell me if you hear stomach noises, is thehorse sweating, is he nipping at his belly? Kicking, tell me as much as you can.

Did he graze today and suck in more sand? Has he pooped and peed in the last 12 hours? He is in a form of colic after shock. If you had the monies do you know a VET?
