  • My boy cannot be left out in winter :-( he panics and is miserable. He is not interested in toys/mirrors/licks and is under veterinary supervision to avoid damage to his structure where possible. We have tried obstacles which resulted in him cutting himself quite badly. If you put a headcollar on him he stops and once he settles down for the night he stops and doesn't start until 5am which is when we turn him out.

  • I am filming through the window. He is an open box with no roof and still does the same!! Thanks for your input, kate

  • Cut him a window!

  • that's what I'm filming through :-)

  • Hi, i have read through all the comments, i am just wondering if you still have your horse as i might be able to help you, but its too long to explain in the comments contact me if your interested.

  • by the way.. Its called claustrophbia, the people who suffer from it are called claustrophobics. No offence.

  • You need to stop it cos it can cause serious damage to muscles, tendons, or legs. Firstly his stable looks a bit small for him and secondly you could place obsticles (that he can't hurt himself on) in his stable so he has to walk around them. Also try bordom breakers like a treat ball and a hanging lick or carrots on strings.

  • Buy him a nibblenet buy a larger one to fit 3-4 pads of hay to keep him busy.

    Hope this helps

  • It has nothing to do with claustrophobia. Wind sucking, cribbing, box walking and weaving are all caused because the horse is being taken from his natural habitat by us. It is a result of boredom, stress or pain.

  • my horse dose that but walks side to side like weaving but moves all 4 feet
