It can be yes. It can be a habit that may be hard to break once it's started. And it can give your horse a bad case of colic. Windsucking is usually a 'stall vice' and goes hand in hand with boredom. Try to let your horse out as much as you can. When he has to be in his stall try some stall toys. There is one that allows you to put a treat in the center and the horse has to be persistant to get the yummy.

Why do horses burp on posts while eating?
Horses can't burp, I'm assuming what you're reffering to is a vice called windsucking. Not every horse does this, just ones that have developed a vice in the stable from ie being bored or hungry and sometimes even copying other horses. There are many other vices horses can develop such as: box walking, weaving cribbing ect. Once a horse starts windsucking it wont stop as it makes the horse feels good, it sends endorphins to the brain which causes this feeling. But it can cause serious colic!

What would a horse do when it is left in its stall bored windsuck chew wood paw the floor excessvely or all of these?
All of these. When a horse is in a stall, he doesn't get adequate physical and mental stimulation, so a horse often resorts to "stall vices" like cribbing, windsucking, chewing wood, pawing, pacing, etc.
A horse which chews on wood action known as?
It depends. If the horse is merely chewing on the wood in the stable or paddock area, it is simply known as 'wood chewing,' and can indicate boredom or nutricional issues. If he is grabbing the wood and sucking wind, without the throat contraction, it is known as 'windsucking.' If the horse is grabbing the wood with his teeth and sucking air, contracting the throat when so doing, it is called 'cribbing.' While also attributed to boredom, this habit can be contagious in a barn. Other horses can learn this dangerous and damaging behavior. Cribbing can cause the horse to get a splinter in the windpipe. It is also extremely destrutive to the stable. This behavior can be handled by topical ointments, either commercial or home-made. It can, in extreme cases, be handled with the use of a cribbing collar, which prevents the horse from contracting the throat, taking the satisfavtion out of the behavior for the horse. He loses the endorphin rush he gets from the windsucking/cribbing.
