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.
