Where, owing to the breed, such as a heavy drought, or lack of opportunity, a horse cannot be galloped for a wind test. Horses with big bellies sometimes emit grunts, very similar to those given by roarers when threatened with a blow, especially by those just taken up from a straw yard. The cause in such cases may be sudden pressure on the diaphragm from the stomach. Horses also, which have been long in dealers’ yards and have been frequently examined as to their wind, will sometimes grunt on being approached on account of fear of a blow. Such grunts have often no connection with roaring; but the horses, which emit them, should be examined as to their wind with more than ordinary care. Grunting and roaring usually go together, though as above stated, they might be unconnected. Links:        Contributors: Jan Gullet   Oesophagus - through which food travels from the mouth to stomach. The design of the swell/fork, as well as the angle of the bars, help to determine the width and height of the saddle gullet. This, in turn, affects how well a saddletree fits the horse's withers. The saddle must clear the withers. Too low a fit in this area and the horse can become sore quickly.
