Mild cases of colic may include stretching, yawning, pawing the ground with forefeet, restlessness, lying down, rolling from side to side, and frequent looking at the abdomen. Horses with Severe Colic kick at the abdomen, frequently throw themselves to the ground, roll violently from side to side, sweat, will not stand, experience rapid breathing and an elevated heart rate. This in turn sends a horse into shock. When a horse is in shock, the gums appear very pale which confirms there is restricted blood flow to the entire system and death usually follows
