Reading a passage in a novel that referred to horse farts made me wonder: DO horses fart?

Reader, they do. Though there is a surprising variety and utility around farts in the animal kingdom, it turns out. This review of “Does it Fart? A Definitive Field Guide to Animal Flatulence” is surprisingly entertaining. And cool.

Because science.
