∙ 14y agoIf a horse is bored he may be hanging his head, not really paying attention to anything. He might be resting one of his hooves on its tip, but that can mean he's relaxed. To me there is always a certain dullness in their eyes that tells you they want to get out and go for a long ride.
If a horse is really bored, he may develop bad habits that will tell you he's bored out of his brain. Wind sucking, weaving, self-mutilation (D:) or crib-biting are called vices, and mean that you horse is not getting enough exercise, is being poorly kept and confinement. Vices can lead to serious problems in a horses legs, teeth and some vices are similar addictions.
To avoid problems, try to keep a horse entertained. Take him out often, for rides, or even just a walk. Maybe buy a few toys to put in his stall. I'm kinda going off the question now... Better stop :)
