Carpet fastened on the inside of the door. When the noise stops the horse will too.
I presume that you were the YO in that case and discussed it with the horses owner? If you were just a fellow livery yard user, then I find your treatment of another persons horse, which was none of your business, unnacceptable.I have a horse next door to my youngster who kicks and it drove me nuts - I took a run at his door and booted it every time he kicked and he stopped after a few days - now he never kicks, well not where Im there anyway. Probably not a good solution for a horse on box rest though cause they do tend to dart to the back of their stable when you kick the door. My friend ties an old treat ball to the other side of the door from the top of the door and everytime he kicked the ball bounced as if someone was kicking at the other side - he soon stopped
We've one, he's more or less stopped since I've been encouraging people to ignore him when he bangs and go and make a fuss once the banging stops. He's a fairly quick learner thankfully
