Most definately. If there is an apple tree that your horse can get to it is probably wise to put him somewhere else. Too much of anything can make a horse sick and you can't trust him to eat only 2 or 3 at a time. Hoses will 'pig out', never stopping until they almost drop.

Back in those times, colic was mostly handled by walking a horse into near exhaustion, as there wasn't very many, if any equine veterinarians who knew what the exact causes were. Some people may have attempted surgery, but this would have been exceedingly rare and likely would have had poor results. Some horse people may have attempted to bleed a horse or to give some form of medicine, but typically the colic either resolved itself or the horse died.
What are the signs and symptoms of colic?
some of the common symptoms to look for are lying down if your horse does not typically lie down, not eating or pooping. These are they main ones. If you see these them you should get your horse up and walking and listen to his stomach, if you can hear gurling then he is probs not colicing but if you cannot than keep him walking and call a vet and if you have banamine give him some while waiting for the vet. Hope this helps!
