Hopefully you have gotten hold of the vet by no?w. I would be concerned about fluid/debree that may have gotten into her lungs, so would want to be sure her lungs were clear. Does she still have green snot coming out of her nose? Can you feel a lump on her neck from food being lodged? Does she act distressed? Sweaty? Having difficulty breathing? If she seems o.k. and is eating o.k., you should still have her checked asap, but imo she can wait for the vet if he can see her sometime today.

Martha I am uncertain she aspirated this, more likely she swallowed some and it became lodged in the esophagus. The horseman's term is choke a fairly common event, for more on the symptoms you are seeing see Equine Diseases » Colic and GI Diseases » Mouth, Esophagus, and Liver » Choke: Esophageal Obstruction.
