Yep--I was a little surprised the article on animal suicide didn't actually talk about horses. If a horse gets stuck (cast against the stall wall, for instance) it will often will itself to die; probably following a genetic thought that suicide would be a better end than death from bleeding out, starvation, dehydration, or being attacked by another animal.
