It is nearly unheard of with ranch horses as they get to live like horses & ain't in stalls with blankets, overfed & all kinds of supplements, just rode the crap out of once in a while, fed treats, etc, etc...Not a knock on the OP but it's just a fact...

Sorry to burst your bubble. My friend has a mustang that is on 40 acres with other horses and fed hay. Her mare had an impaction colic 3 weeks ago. It was found to be a vegetation mass when they did surgery.
