ANSWER #1: Some poisonous plants to horses like yew, Ragwort, deadly nightshade, anything that they shouldn't eat. ANSWER #2: Colic is caused by dozens of different things. Too much of any feed can cause colic. Feeds/grains that are too rich can cause colic. Simply changing the type of horse feed too suddenly can cause colic. (Always change feeds gradually - over a period of 1 1/2 to 2 weeks). Too much lush green grass can also cause colic. Other causes of colic are: the horse not having enough water, especially after feeding; a hot horse drinking cold water; as well as diseases of the internal organs.
