In this report, we described a case of acute colic with uterine rupture in a Thoroughbred broodmare during parturition. A 14-year-old broodmare showed acute colic characterized by rolling just after delivering of a healthy foal. Large intestine was prolapsed through vulva, contaminated with soil and its serosa was heavily damaged. We performed a euthanasia according to the owner's request. Post mortem examination revealed about 15 cm rupture on ventral side of the uterus. In addition, the orphan foal follow his owner after necropsy on his dam.
