What kind of colic is it when your horse refuses food and water looks around at his sides paws the ground and tries to lay down often?

Chances are the horse has a case of colic...tummy ache in plain language. This can be as simple as a little too much gas that just needs some time and walking around to pass, or it may be as severe as a twisted gut that requires immediate surgery. If you see a horse exhibiting these symptoms, get it up and keep it walking while someone calls the vet. Horses' guts are notoriously difficult things to deal with. Don't take any chances.
