The purpose of the muscle vibration is to generate heat and raise body temperature. However, horses will also sometimes shiver if they have a fever, are stressed, are experiencing abdominal pain (colic), or are recovering from anesthesia.

Other typical signs include trembling of the tail while held erect, trembling of the thigh muscles and a flexed and trembling hind limb.
