Nooooooo. you should most definatly not let them roll. if your horse is collicing you should get them up right away.you should not let them roll, when they roll when they are collicking they're intestines, and lungs will twist ant then they proboly will die!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That will twist things up alot!
NO, Dont let them roll. Try to keep them on there feet until the vet gets there. If they roll it could cause there stomach to hurt even more.
Colic is in laymans terms a stomach ache. But that is bad for horses as they can not throw up. It can be a life threatening condition. The pain can be severe and a horse will roll to relieve it, this can cause the intestines to curl or twist or roll up on themselves causing portions of the intestines to die. There are all kinds of causes and all kinds of types of colic. It is the #1 killer of horses. Not all colic can kill a horse, some horses have cronic colic and live good lives. If you know what to look for and catch it quick enough, the horse can get over it well. The most common type of colic is when the horses's intestines twist, this can be treated by medicine or surgery, but colic is still deadly. if you mean signs, the horse will lay down and try to roll - try not to let them do this - the horse could die from that, because the stomach might twist and it is fatal
There are a lot of things that can cause colic. Eating dirt and sand while trying to get their hay or feed off of the ground, eating too much, eating the wrong foods, changing a horses feed too suddenly, a heavy worm infestation, worming a horse that has a heavy worm infestation, moldy feed or hay, eating a poisonous plant as well as diseases of the internal organs such as the stomach, liver, kidneys or bladder. Colic is an emergency and a veterinarian should be called immediately. While waiting on the vet to arrive, do not allow the horse to roll. Keep a halter on them and walk them until the vet gets there. No need to push the horse. Stay calm and let the horse walk at their own pace. Jump keep them on their feet.
It could be a lot of things. Is there a wound that is swelling? Did the horse get kicked? This what you would hope for. The question is are they swelling or bloating? If they're bloating that could mean colic- which is bad. If the horse begins to roll, kick and bite at his stomach, you better call a vet fast.
i think what you are askingis if they can throw up, and the answer is no. horses get what is called colic becauses of this. colic is basicly a bad stomacch, that can be deadly if not taken care of, i horses might roll if the are colicing, do not let them walk them.
Just keep kicking, and roll your hips into the saddle.
False.
no. If they do, it'll twist up their organs(i know my answer is weird)
When horses get colic it means that there intestines get blocked or twisted. Do not let your horse lie down or roll when they have colic. Letting them do so can make them die. Keep your horse walking.
walk it and call the vet if things don't get better in 30 mins. make sure it doesn't roll.
not eating wanting to roll kicking at their belly not wanting to walk
When a horse eats a poisonous plant, it may get colic, or a stomachache. The horse may be refusing to eat or drink, be rolling around on the floor (horses roll around anyway, but you would be able to tell if it was sick), and it should appear listless.
In general, no - rolling increases the risk for torsion of the intestines and can cause strangulations, which are life-threatening medical emergencies. Without a veterinarian's diagnosis, it is difficult to tell what type of colic a horse has, so the blanket statement is to simply not allow your horse to roll. Hand walking at a steady pace is recommended, and in cases of non-surgical colic can provide the same movement and massaging of the intestines that helps pass an obstruction or get the gas bubble out.

when horses colic, they will kick at their belly with their hind feet, and try to roll and lie down. do NOT let them roll or lie down!!!!!! if you think your horse is colicing, call an experienced emergency vet immediately!
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. Do not let them do this or else they will have even more twisted intestines. Also, a horse will not pass manure while in colic. When they are colicing, you can know if they are better once they poop again.
"Clinical Signs A horse with mild colic will paw the ground with its front feet, be restless, lie down and roll frequently and look at its abdomen. A horse with more severe colic will roll and may become cast and lie on its back to relieve intestinal pressure. Horses with very severe colic will throw themselves to the ground and roll violently. These horses can be dangerous to work with until properly sedated. Pulse and respiratory rates rise while temperature typically remains within a normal range. The absence of abdominal sounds is characteristic of a horse with colic."** If you see these things you need to get a vet to look at your horse because it can be life threatening. **Source of information http://www.uky.edu/Ag/AnimalSciences/pubs/asc128.pdf
No. Colic is the term for abdominal (belly) pain of unknown origin; two common reasons for colic in horses are intestinal obstruction and intestinal twisting. With either of these two types of colic, if a horse is allowed to roll he can wrap one loop of intestine around another loop and cut off flow of the liquid feces inside the intestines. Horses are hind-gut fermenters, meaning that a large amount of gas is produces within the intestines. If this gas cannot escape (because the intestines are wrapped around each other), the gas builds up until the intestines pop like a balloon - a 100% fatal occurrence.
