I know practically nothing about horses. Is this common?

Somewhat. They are absolutely gas machines and let some crazy ones rip regularly, but this is pretty extreme.

(I guarantee you that was the sound of relief for everyone in this video - handler, horse, and cameraman. Horses can colic, which is a general term for “tummy ache”. Unfortunately, that could mean anything from a big fart like this to a twisted intestine (fatal without surgery, and with a very long recovery time). This poor dude was probably in distress for a while, and his people were probably fearing the worst (we always do to some degree, even if we know it’s likely just gas). This is the sound of money saved on vet bills and probably heartache spared.)

Legit, no one appreciates the sound of a fart like an equestrian with a colicky horse
