The vision she related that her father would one day be forced to relinquish his immortality and die as mortals did filled her with so much grief and fear that Apollo in pity turned her into a mare.

Chiron & Ocyrhoe (pp.45-48): The transition from Coronis to Ocyrhoe is achieved through Chiron, to whom Apollo entrusted his son Aesculapius.
The theme of ‘excessive talking’ is a link between this group of stories (the raven in the story of Apollo & Coronis, the crow in the story of Minerva & Aglauros, Ocyrhoe in her prophecy to Chiron, and Battus in the story of Mercury’s cattle rustling.
Chiron prays of behalf of his daughter Ocyrhoe to the god Apollo; Apollo does not hear his prayer because he is thinking only of love & music; and so the cattle of Apollo wandered off and were stolen by Mercury.

The Gods and Goddesses of Olympia seemed hardly able to pass a day unless they had transformed someone (often themselves) into an animal.
The best example of equine transformation of those days was that of Ocyrhoe, the human daughter of Chiron, the centaur, and the nymph Chariclo.
Ocyrhoe was able to foretell the future, and on one occassion reputedly revealed secrets that Zeus would rather not have had revealed at that time.

 The Centaur's Daughter
My favourite character in mythology, with the possible exception of Circe, is Ocyrhoe, the daughter of the centaur Chiron.
As related in Book II of Ovid's Metamorphoses, she was born human but was transformed into a mare, reputedly as a punishment for revealing the wisdom of Zeus.
Father says if we go by proportional bodyweight, I can expect to be a mare for about a hundred and fifty years (which the Temple would also love: immortal Ocyrhoe, blessed mare of the Oracle!) Well.

Among the rest the infant AEsculapius was intrusted to his charge by Apollo, his father.
When the sage returned to his home bearing the infant, his daughter Ocyrhoe came forth to meet him, and at sight of the child burst forth into a prophetic strain (for she was a prophetess), foretelling the glory that he was to achieve.
AEsculapius when grown up became a renowned physician, and even in one instance succeeded in restoring the dead to life.
