#18 Burping in Horses – A Sound Nobody Should Ignore

Have you ever heard a horse burp? And thought for a split second: "Oh, how funny"? Then this episode is exactly what you need.

Because horses don't burp. Or at least, they shouldn't. If you ever catch your horse making that sound, you need to act immediately — because behind that noise is a stomach under dangerous pressure.

In this episode of the Sanoanimal Podcast, Christina Fritz breaks down what this warning sign really means — from the unique anatomy of the horse's stomach to the everyday feeding mistakes that cause this pressure to build in the first place.

You'll learn:
✔️ Why horses can't actually burp — and what it means when they do
✔️ How harmful bacteria develop in the stomach and why spring grass in particular can become a serious threat
✔️ The important difference between burping and cribbing — so you know exactly what you're dealing with in an emergency
✔️ Which symptoms point to gastric gas buildup — and when to call the vet immediately
✔️ What you can do in an emergency while waiting for help to arrive
✔️ How the right feeding routine and management practices can actively prevent the problem

Burping isn't funny. It's a medical emergency — and more often than not, the result of feeding mistakes that have been creeping in for weeks.
