Great question. Signs of malnutrition in horses include changed behavior, showing ribs/hips/spine through the skin, dull eyes and many more. The easiest signs to see in horse malnutrition would be weight loss and changed behavior. Many horses that do not receive the required nutrients will have lack of muscle and possibly showing ribs/hips. Also, many horses that are malnourished can have a change in behavior, like aggression, sadness and no willingness to go.
