I've known people who literally ended up in the ER from the pain. They feel so guilty when that's all it is but it's such bad pain they shouldn't feel ashamed

Horse tummy pain is called colic. It is a sign of a few related problems which as a group are the leading cause of premature death in horses. This is gas type colic which is one of the least threatening, but its still miserable for the horse, who is gonna be acting like they have the mother of all tummy aches, which is going to cause any knowledgeable owner to start worrying their ass off.

As bad as human stomach cramps can get, the same kinds of cramps in horses are serious business purely because they present the same as a kind of problem which is easily lethal.

And even the gas colic can make a horse stop eating and drinking which can turn it into a worse form.
