If your horse is bored it will be resting with it's hind leg. It will have its ears at the neutral position. It will have its head down and will look like it will be falling asleep. If you want your horse to have some excitement, take him/her for a nice long run. It might start chewing wood if it has just come out its stall.

A horse that is bored will chew on anything...crib on any nearby wood, paw the ground a lot, pace, sway in their stall and develop all sorts of unusual habits.

One of the habits, they rock their weight from right to left front leg. They will do it for hours non-stop, it can create serious problems with their legs and holves. They will also suck on, or chew, their tail hair. I've seen one do this until he chewed his tail too short for him to reach, before his owner figured out what he was doing. If they are doing any of these things they need serious attention, grooming, play time, any time spent with them that gives them something to look forward to. Also exercise is very important, even just walking on a lead in a different environment will help. Then put some big toys in their stall area for them and work with them for a bit, to show them, they are for play. THen try to watch, without them knowing, and see if they show any interest in the toys and have stopped the bad behavior. This might take several attempts before you see what is really going on, so don't give up. This is very important to the health and well being of a horse, they are social animals and being up in a stable much of the time is stressful.

It really depends on the horse. Some will resort to chewing on walls or fences others will learn to cribb and some will just mentally shut down. Pony's will often cause extra mischief or get extra temperamental. If you think your horse if bored you can give them jolly balls or you can hang a empty milk jug with rocks in it from your rafters. This may make a lot of noise but the horses love it! Most of the time they aren't bored when there outside but you can give them a friend like a goat or even better another horse and they will be pretty happy campers!
