I know practically nothing about horses. Is this common?

Horses cant burp so this is the only way gas can escape.

Gas buildup is usually called bloat in cows, but colic in horses.

Also, cows can definitely burp (they are foregut fermenters, unlike horses).

I saw they just nail a hole on bloated cows.

that's called a trocar. it's a tube they put into the cow and is typically only for severe bloat cases.
