Horses weird habits...

I have to give Casp 2 water buckets each night as he likes to have one just to wash his face in once he's eaten his dinner and he won't drink out of it once he's dipped his face in it!

mine bangs his chin on his stable door and gulps air... and if you block his door he fits his chin in the fold of his haynet and pulls back then gulps the air!!!!

That's windsucking and may be due to underlying health problems/poor management/ a multitude of things.

My elderly gelding does a reverse weave - he weaves his back end - slamming one side on the wall, then when he's go a good rhythm going he starts to nod his head as well. But not in time with his arse....it's like he's got two tunes going on in his head. He normally only does it when he's in the stable, but it can also be a bit disconcerting when he's doing it in the back of a 3.5tonne horsebox!...

I love this, really made me giggle! What a talent :D
 
My mare has to do four steps of Spanish walk before she rolls, she also has to pee before she comes in. Balances that out by peeing as soon as I get to the yard anyway. You can't catch her with a headcollar but you can just walk up to her in the field, poke her neck say 'caught you' and she'll follow you anywhere.
