The number one killer of horses is colic. It is a horse owners worst fear. Colic is a symptom, not a condition. It can be brought about by a countless number of things, such as a sudden change in diet, the wrong types or too much feed or treats, problems or obstructions in the intestinal tract. The list of causes is endless. Some of the symptoms of colic are rolling or thrashing on the ground, the horse constantly biting at its stomach, groaning, etc. A vet should be called immediately if a horse appears to be colicking.
