Can horses vomit?
Horses aren't physically capable of vomiting. An extremely sick horse (usually with something stuck in its throat) may be seen with a small amount of stomach contents coming out of its nostrils, but they cannot empty their stomachs the way humans can. This is why colic in horses is very serious. Horses have a band of muscle around the esophagus as it enters the stomach. This band operates in horses much as in humans: as a one-way valve. Food freely passes down the esophagus into the stomach as the valve relaxes but the valve squeezes down the opening and cuts off the passage for food going back up. Horses, however, differ from us because their valve really works. Humans can vomit. Horses almost physically can't because of the power of the cut-off valve muscle. Also, the esophagus meets the stomach at an angle which enhances the cut-off function when the horse's stomach is bloated with food or gas. Then the stomach wall pushes against the valve, closing the esophagus even more completely from the stomach. Normally, the mechanics are such that the horse's stomach ruptures before the valve yields. If material does pass from stomach out the esophagus, the horse is dead or nearly so. That's why horses can't vomit.
Do horses lose lunch?
No, the vast majority of horses cannot throw up or 'lose their lunch' due to the angle of their esophagus and the strength of the Sphincter muscle at the opening of their stomach. however in extremely rare cases a horse can throw up , this is due to a combination of a weak sphincter muscle and a straighter esophagus, but this is so rare that most equine veterinarians go their entire careers without seeing this.
Do horses burp?
Yes, just like us, horses burp to, I know because a horse burped at me once. Answer2: No, the vast majority of horses cannot burp. This is due to the same reason they cannot throw up. The shape of the esophagus and the strength of the sphincter muscle at the opening to the stomach typically prevent burping and throwing up. However some horse may have a weak sphincter muscle or an overly straight esophagus and can burp/throw up, but this is extremely rare.
Do horses regergetate?
no. a horses esophagus is too long and they are physically not able to empty stomach contents like dogs or humans. if a horse is having digestive issues generally it is referred to as colic. in severe cases horses may have gastric acids running from their nose due to back up in the stomach.
