Eye injuries are fairly common in horses and if left untreated, they can lead to blindness and more serious health issues. Your horse may develop an eye injury like a splinter in his eye, a cut, or a tear.

Horse laminitis occurs when the membranes, or laminae, which connect the equine's foot bones to the wall of the hoof become swollen and inflamed. Laminitis usually occurs on the front feet and is extremely painful to the horse.
