Stable manager down the road said she'd had four horses colic in the last month, every one as a front was coming through (western South Dakota).
I don't know enough about it to speak on it, but perhaps someone on this list has opinions or knowledge regarding parasite migration when ambient pressure changes due to approaching weather changes, sudden shifts from hot to cold, etc.? It seems to me that it wouldn't take much of a "migration" to cause a horse (especially in extremis already due to tasking) to start showing signs of colic.
