We lost one of our best school ponies today. He started colicing around 7 last night and just did not make it through it. Surgery was not an option for his owner, so he went on trailer rides and walks and around 3 this morning started passing some of the impaction, but never passed more. The vet also thinks his cecum was displaced. I went home to sleep around 5 as he was laying quietly in his stall with the BO watching him. I called around 10:30 this morning and he was still fighting, but by the time I made it to the barn at 12:30 he was gone. 
He fought so hard. He will be greatly missed. He was 19-21 years old so he lived a full happy life and was just jumping around 2 foot courses last week with spring and loving every minute of it.
Rest in Peace sweet boy! You will be missed by lots of little girls and grown up girls.
