I brought my pony from the field and he was fine. I took him in the stable and started grooming him, and then he started shaking all over! He was out without a rug last night, but I know for a fact he isn't cold as he is very tough (born on the Welsh mountains!) And has been out in much worse without a rug.
We heard some shouting just now, but I don't think that's it as people always shout. :/
I found some yellow petals on him, could he have eaten something bad??
I am with him now, he's still shaking. He has been shaking for about ten minutes now.
 
Put a rug on him while you ring vet. It's possible that outside he's warm as he can eat & move about, but standing still in a cold stable, especially if he has no hay could explain it. Given yellow petals, worth ringing vet in case it is something he ate, just for advice. But I'm guessing he's just feeling the cold.
 
Thanks guys, I am trying to get hold of a vet right now, though the shaking has calmed down a lot, but his muscles still looks tense, and his stomach is going in quite a bit when he is breathing. He's starting to eat his hay now.
It's annoying because Danny never shows when he is in pain, even when he had cuts on him, he never flinched when I was putting cream and stuff on it, so I have no idea if he is in pain or anything. D:
 
Yeah, just got off the phone to the vet, they said as long as he isn't showing any signs of distress or colic, he'd be fine. I think it's a good sign that he's eating, I sat in the stable and ate my lunch, and as expected he came up to me and started harassing me for some! (He even found the apple in my bag, I had to give it to him or he would have taken it himself!)
I just had a quick look at his eyes and gums, after a bit of a struggle, but everything seems fine. The vet said to phone if things get worse.
I got a rug on him, and he seems to have stopped shaking, which is a relief!
Danny sure knows how to scare me! Though I still don't know what all the shaking was about, he stopped shaking just before I put his rug on. :S
