Studies have found that when 'herd' animals like horses spend any significant time in stables away from their 'herd', they are prone to psychological difficulties bought about by loneliness, boredom and the lack of company of other horses. As a result, approximately 1 in 6 stabled horses has exhibited typical difficulties whilst in stables such as box walking, weaving and crib biting. Your horse is simply displaying signs of discomfort and unhappiness at the lack of company whilst stabled. Scientific studies have shown that installing a mirror in a stable can result in your horse becoming happier and relaxed and feeling far more safe and secure in its stable.
