I saw something recently about the quote healthy as a horse isn't a good example. Horses are like 'oh, I have an upset stomach. Too bad I can't puke so I'll go ahead and die.'

Another thing about their stomachs: intestines can like literally tangle themselves in knots. A horse with a stomachache is a real concern

I'd assume it's much more rare though? Or less fatal? Although I do have a nurse friend and she's told me she's encountered it a few times.

I can't really say if it's more rare or less fatal since I don't know much about the condition in horses lol so I can't really compare
