If a horse is bored he may "windsuck" also called cribbing. If he does do this then he needs some entertainment , try providing horse safe toys to keep him from getting bored. It is important that horses do not windsuck, this can cause weight loss.
Mostly a pest, and a danger to himself. Board horses pick up bad habits to amuse themselves. Cribbing, windsucking, weaving, pacing, teeth grinding are just a few of the possibly hamful behavious that can plague a stalled horse.
All of these. When a horse is in a stall, he doesn't get adequate physical and mental stimulation, so a horse often resorts to "stall vices" like cribbing, windsucking, chewing wood, pawing, pacing, etc.
Pacing, cribbing, sucking wood, stall weaving, pawing, tail rubbing, and stall kicking.
Horses can't burp, I'm assuming what you're reffering to is a vice called windsucking. Not every horse does this, just ones that have developed a vice in the stable from ie being bored or hungry and sometimes even copying other horses. There are many other vices horses can develop such as: box walking, weaving cribbing ect. Once a horse starts windsucking it wont stop as it makes the horse feels good, it sends endorphins to the brain which causes this feeling. But it can cause serious colic!
A indication that a horse is bored is they start to paw the ground they can wind suck and some may even go sour when you want to ride them.
It can be yes. It can be a habit that may be hard to break once it's started. And it can give your horse a bad case of colic. Windsucking is usually a 'stall vice' and goes hand in hand with boredom. Try to let your horse out as much as you can. When he has to be in his stall try some stall toys. There is one that allows you to put a treat in the center and the horse has to be persistant to get the yummy.
If a horse is bored it will windsuck, start pawing the floor, and will chew wood.
When a horse is bored, it paws the ground, bites the wood off the stable and horses around!
