Any ideas what may help "ease" this problem. Have heard fennel might help? Any ideas welcome!
Horse with excess wind !

I've heard that about fennel too, though I've never tried it!
I shouldn't worry though, Little Black One suffers terribly (well, everybody around him suffers actually! lol) from 'excessive wind' & it's never done him any harm!
Better out than in & in fact, the only time I worry is if he doesn't do it!

Most of the horses in our yard have loads of wind at the moment. When they are all in the barn, it's like being at a brass band concert!
And the smell is, er, quite interesting!
As JAK says, better out than in, I feel.

We used to have a very windy Sec A, especially when he coughed. I will always remember one day at a show he was tied to the lorry, there was a man asleep on a deck chair next to us, and our pony coughed, did the most enormous fart and the man woke up so fast that he fell off his seat!
Isn't charcoal meant to help flatulence? Must try some on OH someday, grind up a pencil or bit of burnt twig in his food or something.

My pony Cindy is the only one on our yard with such a problem ! when my friends mum came to see him, Cindy was tied up in the the middle of the barn when she started doing the loudest and longest fart you had ever heard, Jans face was a picture, she said she didnt think horses did that !!! when Im out hacking I dread going past people in the village as she always seems worse when people are about, she must know how embarrassed I get !
