It's called pawing and is out of boredom.
If a horse is bored it will windsuck, start pawing the floor, and will chew wood.
A horse may paw at the ground as a sign of restlessness, boredom, or frustration. It can also be a natural behavior for horses to search for food or test the ground for safety.
Cats may paw at the floor randomly due to instinctual behaviors like hunting or marking territory. It could also be a way for them to release excess energy or seek attention.
it is called cribbing they make speacial collars that you put on the horse to prevent them from doing it
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.
