Mare think has colic? HELP!!?

Okay this is what is weird. My mare is 6 yr old QH. Has never colic since I have owned her. It was a month ago went out to her pen and she was laying down like she was sunning herself. She got up and came to me like nothing was wrong. I hosed her off and she started kicking at her belly like the flies where bothering her and about 30 minutes later she wanted to lie down while she was tie to the trailer. But the minute you let her go she would go and eat grass but at times she acted like she wanted to lay down but wouldn’t lay down. Had vet come out and said she was somewhat impacted and he gave her some mineral oil and she was fine. Past manure in 12 hours. She was fine for a week and we took her with us to a rodeo and she started to do the same thing again at 5am but she would eat gas. We gave her banamine and she was fine again. When we got her home we started her on sandclear and today 08/12/08 she started back again with kicking at her belly. Gums are fine some gut noise. Her feed hasn’t change at all and all of our horse get the same fed as she does and she is the only one acting this way.
well I had her looked at and she didn’t colic what they believe she has is ulcers caused from stress when we haul her and we just need to give her some ulcer paste before we haul her any where.

Information about Banamine it is just like bute.
Horse: BANAMINE Injectable Solution is recommended for the alleviation of inflammation and pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders in the horse. It is also recommended for the alleviation of visceral pain associated with colic in the horse.

Opinions on my poem?

War-Burned Grass Grave

Covered in the cold, night after
The fire whipped the forest away
The wolves mouths are red
And all the children are dead
And no one’s left alive to be gay
For the soldiers homecoming
Flying back from the sands
To find the grass he left is much colder
And will never be so green again

He wakes one night, back, cold and distanced
To the bell tolling for the men left
Sprang up and tied on his boots
To sail to sea and face his own death
And tire and fire and shoot up on meth
For a cause that he didn’t
And just couldn’t believe
To find pointlessly injured
And too late to relieve, the men.

His Mary caught the plane in to meet him
Her gorgeous red light blown in the wind
An air of unconscious
Illusioned subconscious
And nothing to hold her from sin
Until the wind brought the chill back
In the night men’s shots rang
For her, this pale beauty
The bells toll, the man hanged

The train arrived back at the station
Meeting all the men in the town
The platform estranged
The men all deranged
Black velvet draped all around
The casket was carried
And all the men in the town
Cried for the corpse of
Such a graceful dead clown

The soldier served his time and released his
Cold self back in to the wild
To where the fires swept back and ruined
The place where winters are mild
He found himself alone at the station
To carry his lone bag by himself
The station-man said
What a sad life ahead
Your only love is gone at your own fault
The grass will never be greener
The fire burned it up clean
And over the raw grave
The soldiers hanged self is seen
