[[Rectal Examination of the Horse|Rectal palpation]] is a useful technique and is often used to assess colic. Structures that can be palpated ''per rectum'' include; faecal balls in the descending colon, the [[Urinary Bladder - Anatomy & Physiology|bladder]], the [[Reproductive System Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|reproductive organs]] in the mare, the base of the [[Caecum - Anatomy & Physiology|caecum]], the root of the mesentery, the [[Urinary System Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|left kidney]], +/- the nephrosplenic ligament, the left dorsal colon and the pelvic flexure of the ascending colon. ''NB: This is a common site of impaction.''
