Short answer is the weather!

So much rain and wet conditions have caused really high numbers of sand colic

Heavy rain causes sand to come to the surface (even on clay soils). The sand coats the grass, the horse eats the grass…..

Signs of colic:- rolling, dull, not eating, laying down more than normal or restless-getting up & down, sweating, kicking at belly, looking at flanks, unhappy etc.
