Typical signs of Colic include kicking/nipping looking at the belly. Groaning, trying to roll, getting up and down frequently, attempts to pass manure or urine without success, pacing, sweating, not eating or drinking, and lack of gut sounds. These are typical signs of a bad case of colic and many horses will just seem a bit 'off' from their normal behaviour.

Colic is when the horse eats concentrates or other dangerous things after strenuous work which twists their intestines into a knot. They will roll, or stretch when they show signs of colic.
