Some common equine diseases are colic, navicular disease, rain rot, founder and worms (bots). People often call colic a twisted gut and founder is often caused by feed problems.

One common equine disease is Navicular which is when the cannon bone rotates causing laminitis. Laminitis is a sort of inflammation or irritation such as abscesses on the hoof area.

I know that west nile is a big one along with colic which can be deadly to a horse if not treated by a vet.
