Excuse you!

My horse has excessive wind.... all the time!

I was starting to worry that he may have colic but he is happy and healthy in every way and his previous owner said he used to fart constantly too!

Does anyone else have a 'windy' horse?!!

I've got a windy husband. Does that count?

There's a Clyde mare at my barn who is the fartiest horse I've ever heard! I've never seen her colic.

My girl saves them up for when I'm picking out her back hooves and then lets one go, silent but deadly

silent but deadly

I believe we say silent but violent

Don't you love it when they save it for when you're doing their back feet. I always hold my breath when the farrier gets to the hinds. Luckily he's never been 'got' and is still alive and well

Sorry, not much help was I?

my horse has a lot of gas aswell. It can be a symptom of colic, but is your horse is happy and healthy then there is no need to worry. If your horse lets off a lot it usually just means he is happy, comfortable, and relaxed in his enviroment, wich is a good thing. tense, stiff horses dont tend to fart because they are not relaxed enough, a horse also tends to fart when it is excited. hope this helps, i got this information off some of my instructors and tutors at duchy college because my horse does the same.

Used to have a very windy cob! Was very embarrassing as used to do workers with him & hunt-so nearly every time he jumped there was a explosion!!!!!
