Yes, horses can have strokes, and its something you need your vet involved with. You need to know the extent of the damage, some may be overcome with meds, but some can not. Call your vet and have him examine her. If its not a stroke, it sound neurological, and you'll need a vet for that.

The tongues sticks out one side of the mouth and we cannot tell if it hurts or the mouth doesn;t work. Could this be a stroke? If so what would you suggest for feeding her? She cannot do grass or hay/grain?
