This can differ from one horse to another. Some typical signs of boredom are-cribbing(chewing wood or other items, usually their fence or stall), wind-sucking(sucking in air usually when cribbing), pacing(walking back and forth or walking in circles usually in the stall or a small paddock), weaving(shuffling or shifting weight from one front leg to the other), pawing(pawing with the front feet), kicking with the back feet, usually in a stall, grinding the teeth. I'm sure there are others but these are the most common. There are toys made especially for horses to ease their boredom. The best cure for a bored horse is lots of turn out time, preferably with other horses and lots of time with their favorite person.
