I was at the yard today and my friend was on her horse in the yard - he just put his head down to nibble some grass and suddenly acted like something frightened him - he suddenly shied and started backing (hard to describe really) my friend jumped off and he relaxed but what worried us was the fact that I could actually SEE his heart beating behind his elbow - has anyone got any opinion on this - I was worried he had a heart murmor or similar? Last year he suddenly collapsed in his box but has been fine since.
 
Didnt call the vet on either occasion - the first was put down to him just slipping in the box - but with this incident was wondering if it was more sinister - Was puzzeled by the rapid and visible heart beat. May well get vet but was just trying to get some feedback first. Thanks
