BigHorse's stomach content acts pretty much like a river. It's a one-way street. The flow is much slower than that of a water river, but is just as powerfull. No matter how it turns, the only way out is downstream.<br/>Slowly Arkain gets carried toward the back of the stomach, steadily getting more and more imbedded due to shifting material and the passing of food to the gut. Soon the food covers the whole body, safe for his head. Being at the back, the lump he's in is ready to be passed through the rim into the gut.<br/><br/>For the others stays the challenge of staying on top and manage themselves while the stomach works. Of course they are allowed to make themselves comfortable. And it's not like the horse has completely forgotten about them as suddenly a bunch of apples and other fruit come falling through the gullet, whole and relatively untouched.
