No, eating anything with a bridle on will not cause colic. Typically horses are not allowed to eat while wearing their bridles because it is a bad habit and the bridle is supposed to mean that the horse has to work and not eat. However if the horse is not working and is resting a mouthful of hay or grass will not harm them, but it can make the bit dirty which will require extra cleaning.
Horses should not eat this, they can but it is not advised because it is hard for them to digest and can cause colic.
horses shouldn't eat or drink after exersising. this could cause a fatal stomach sickness called Colic.
Horses can't eat radishes. Horses don't have special gut tissue that allows them to throw it up. In stead, they get a bad stomach ache called COLIC. Colic is the leading cause to death in a horse. If a horse has or is spotted with colic, call your vet ASAP.
No, horses should not be fed Chinese cabbage, it can cause gas colic, or possibly diarrhea.

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.
Usually horses don't want to eat when they are colicing because it's somewhat like a bad stomache ache. When they stop colicing, i think it's good to have them drink some water, but I'm not that sure about what to do for colic. Sorry!
Yes. Horses tend to be picky and they may not like the smell or taste of something, so don't be alarmed if your horse won't eat cucumber.
Race horses are feed a diet of high energy foods such as oat, however feeding a horse before they work is not a good idea is it can cause colic so they are not feed before they race as they could die.
Technically, yes, horses are capable of eating broccoli. However, broccoli in large quantities can cause gas build-up in the intestines, which in some cases can lead to gas colic (a potentially fatal problem). Therefore, it is not recommended to feed your horse broccoli.
Absolutely not! Horses are herbivores and should only eat plant matter. horses cannot digest animal proteins very well and this can lead to colic and possibly even death.
