Horse kicking stable partition

[Darcey22]

I have recently moved my horse to the most wonderful yard. We are both really settled there. However my horse is next to a horse she doesn’t get along with and subsequently is kicking the partition between them and damaging it. They can’t see each other until the stick their heads out the door. Is there any easy solution to this as it is causing damage. YO wants to move her to a different stable, but my fear is she will do the same again damaging another stable!

You probably have nothing to lose my moving her to a different stable.

This.

Yes move stables!

I just don’t want her to do the same thing in the new stable? Would a weaving grill and insert help maybe?

I would try moving her one of mine won't go in those temporary stables at shows as there are horses next door and at the back he goes mental.

I worked on a yard where a horse constantly kicked the wall really damaged his feet and legs so they stacked straw bales against it, he still kicked but without injury.

Are there any where she is not directly next door

She's obviously very stressed by her current living situation so you have to try moving her. Is there a stable on the end of a row you could try? Preferably on her more kicky side?

Definitely try a stable move before anything else

There is only one way of finding out

Try moving her to a different stable to start.

Does she do it at a particular time i.e. when eating, only when other horse is next door, when other horse is fed? Or is more random?

They are all next to another horse/horses. Just different ones.

She might be better stabled next to a field mate.

Mine used to kick the walls if she suspected her neighbour could see her and her hay…or so I thought…put up tarpaulin and she still did it. Neighbour changed and horse stopped kicking…hasn’t done it since. Your horse may just not like it’s neighbour.
