Colitis in horse nearly always infection, colitis in human variety of causes (infection, autoimmune, etc).
Colon in horse relatively much physically larger part of digestive system, horse colon has additional different functions than human (ferment substrates).
So "inflammation of the colon" (= colitis) not the same impact in omnivore vs herbivore due to vastly different colons.
