A rich diet fed infrequently or a sudden change to rich grass are the most common causes of gassy or spasmodic colic whereas impactions are usually caused by inactive horses on box rest and eating a straw bed. More severe forms of colic, such as a twisted or entrapped piece of intestine, are less predictable. There is not usually a clear cause and they are less likely to be caused by poor management. It was once thought that the act of a horse rolling causes the intestine to twist but that is now known to be wrong.
Most cases of colic in horses are caused by poor horse management: poor feeding habits, poor exercise and weight management, poor horse worming practices, improper care of a horses' teeth, and even improper exposure to water. Any sudden feed changes in a horses diet will almost certainly cause a horse to colic. Especially if the horse is exposed to a feed that is richer than the one they have been accustomed to eating. To avoid feed induced colic in horses, always introduce new feeds slowly, over the course of 1Â½ - 2 weeks.
