Does anybody's horse also do this?

[live2ride]

I've noticed recently that when my horse is tied up and something happens to stress her out, she'll stretch downwards like a cat.
So front legs out in front and elbows almost touching the ground

I only realized the other day she does it when stressed, cus she was tied up with another horse and that horse left and so she freaked and then started stretching

Anyone else's horse do this or know why?

I don't want to worry you but I would get a vet to examine your horse this kind of stretching is often related to caudal abdominal pain - associated with Gastric ulcers. I would talk to your vet for advise and consider scoping to confirm. Especially as in your horses case it is associated with stressfull situations which would also point to ulcers.
If I can help anymore please contact me.

Hope it helps

Actually no that kind of confirms
My thoughts that she may have ulcers... As she has also gotten girthy in last few months as well

Was hoping she was just being grumpy :/
