as title?

what symptoms did they show?

An old pony recently passed away. She was very lame behind on one leg for no apparent reason for a short while, then fell over :( her tongue went white and seemed un co-coordinated when she tried to get up. She passed away before the vet arrived. It was incredibly sad.
Does this sound like a stroke? maybe a heart attack?

Thank you.
 
Only a post-mortem will give you a definite answer. My best guess would be a fractured pelvis with rupture of a major blood vessel.
