RE: [RC] burping - Carol Stiles

Erica,
I have a new horse that's 6 years old now and he burps when he has an upset stomach. Last summer I put him out on some tall green grass for 15 minutes and it happened right after that. I have never seen a horse burp either, I didn't think they could. But because he was acting a little colicky also I rushed him to the vet. Of course the trailer ride over there cured him and by time we got there he jumped out of the trailer looking perfectly normal. The vet I went to said they've never heard a horse burp either. At least with this horse I now have a very clear sign of when he's got stomach problems.
