The lyrics 'Bored in a stable with nothing to do...' are from the song 'May the Horse be with You' by Relient K. The link below has the full lyrics:
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!
