Question about colic?

can horses get colic from eating and drinking with their bits in? my friend told me this. but i wasnt sure
Answers:
No. That has nothing to do with colic.
Colic can be caused by many things; eating something in general can cause colic, whether the horse is grazing in a field or has a bridle on. Sandy fields can cause colic, internal parasites can cause colic, mineral build-up can cause colic, food can get compacted in the intestines and cause colic-related problems.
There are different causes of colic in horses but this is not one of them .However if you had just fed your horse after exercise and watered at same time then bit or no bit ..a very good chance of colic
