I'm hoping someone has had experience with this and
could shed some light as to what action to take. I've just started light
training after a winter off with my hanoverian/tb cross. I was hoping to
do our first LD this coming June. Yesterday she had a mild colic session
around 9 am. This is her sixth time since last June. Because I board
her I've never been there to see the symptoms but I'm told they go like this:
Grace is laying down, making an odd face with her lip in the air. There's
no biting at her side or groaning. There's little manure in the
stall. The stable owners give her a dose of Banamine paste and within 1/2
she's fine. My experience with other horses having colic are with much
more severe symptoms. Is my horse colicing? She gets two pounds of
senior feed in the am along with hay. The stable owners are going to
drastically cut down on the grain and increase the hay. Grace is 14 years
old. Any help would be appreciated.
