Most cases of colic in horses are caused by poor horse management: poor feeding habits, poor exercise and weight management, poor horse worming practices, improper care of a horses' teeth, and even improper exposure to water. Any sudden feed changes in a horses diet will almost certainly cause a horse to colic. Especially if the horse is exposed to a feed that is richer than the one they have been accustomed to eating. To avoid feed induced colic in horses, always introduce new feeds slowly, over the course of 1Â½ - 2 weeks.
In search of fame and fortune, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480-1521) set out from Spain in 1519 with a fleet of five ships to discover a western sea route to the Spice Islands. En route he discovered what is now known as the Strait of Magellan and became the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean.
1 Contribution. The Strait of Magellan is important because at the time it was discovered, it was a far safer route to reaching the Pacific that trying to cross around Cape Horn. Ferdinand Maâ¦gellan was the first explorer to sail from the Atlantic into the Pacific via a western route. This remained the safest route until 1914 when the Panama Canal was built.
