What are some common indications that your horse is bored in its stall?
Since this is a question posed on the computer game Howrse, the answer would be "all of these." In real life, though, a bored horse in a stall is a recipe for stall vices. Pacing, stomping, weaving, pawing, cribbing, wind sucking, teeth grinding, box walking, wall-kicking, self-mutilation, head-bobbing, are all nasty little habits that once started can be very difficult to stop. They can effect the health of the horse and can cause damage to the stall. A horse can also become aggressive, charging at a stall wall just to see if it can go through it, or biting out at other horses and its handlers.
Should you put a limping horse in a stall?
The best bet would be in a small paddock where the horse can lay down freely, and graze grass and hay. Keeping him in a stall 24/7 might make it anxious, nervous, or have to much energy. So, if the horse is not being exercised daily, he should not be fed fatty, rich foods that it would normally need. So, by giving him hay and grass, it will keep his digestive system in balance. You can stall him for periods of time though, be he will need a break.
What do horses do in a thunderstorm?
Horses are smart resourceful animals and have learned what kinds of weather they need to stay away from.

In severe heat they will roll in water or mud. It is hard for them to stay safe where lightning is concerned because they are tall animals and have trouble getting into areas that would be safe from the lightning strikes.
