Yes bread can cause colic, especially if it is fed in large quantities or if nothing else is being fed to the horse. Bread had hardly any nutritional value and it is difficult for the horses to digest. If you are looking to give your horse a treat, stick to apples, carrots, and treats marketed especially for horses.

∙ 12y agoBread is not good for horses due to the starches in it. You can feed it to them, but you shouldn't feed more than 1 piece every other week or so.

Is bread good for horses?
Bread is fine to feed SOME horses. At my barn where my two horses live they hay quality is pretty bad. All the horses get hay stretch to supplement the bad quality hay but they also get bread. We don't feed any other grains. All the seven horses sometimes get up to 2 full loaves of bread in a day. That most often includes multi-grain bread and bagels(with raisins!). Still, I wouldn't feed bread EVERY day as it is high in starch. You should NOT feed bread to horses that are prone to laminitis or that have foundered. I would also never feed bread to an overweight horse. I wouldn't feed any horse bread as the sole ration BUT if the horse had no teeth it would be great as an additive to soaked grains. Like anything you feed your horse(carrots, apples, grain etc), you need to give them time to get used to it. You wouldn't dump a huge can of sweet feed into their bin out of nowhere so don't do this with bread either. Work them up from once slice to a whole loaf. Never feed a large amount if your horse has been off bread for more than a couple days. The sudden change could cause colic as with ANY normal grain or apple. To get specifics/nutritional information there are some university studies on feeding bread to horses that can be easily found through internet search. They have concluded that bread is safe. Just know that if you are not careful, it can cause problems, again, as with anything you feed your horse. Lastly, if your horse already has a balanced diet and is doing fine on his high quality hay and grain, don't add bread as a part of his diet. Feed it only as a treat. Four or five slices or a few bagels is fine a couple times a week if your horse is being ridden. Donuts are not considered bread here. Don't feed donuts to your horse!
