Like with any animal one of the first signs to look for is excessive thirst and urination. Wounds that are slow to heal. Horse may become much too fat or a poor keeper, either way they will become lack luster. The only way to tell for sure if in doubt is a blood test by vet, and till the vet arrives cut out all sweet feed and feed something like Strategy or just a good quality hay and pasture diet.
