Bob arrived about 3 or 4 weeks ago now, and since then gypsy has started chewing the fence over night 
I don't know if he's stressed because he may be jealous I've got a new one (I know it might sound sad but I think he is). Gypsy goes up the road in the day while bobby stays down the paddock on the grass and they're both in at night, with their stables where bob has a shelter behind the stable, and up to the end of the stable is hard standing for him. Gypsy has his own stable and the rest of the yard, they are separated by 2 sliding rails of wood, which gypsy is eating and showing bob what to do now he's only done it since we've had the new one, he also did it last year when we had one for the summer. I put solid hoof oil on it which seemed to do the trick but it's sticky and horrible and he started eating it again quite badly the past few nights.
He has his haynet doubled so it takes him longer to eat it and has a lick.
I feel so bad that he's stressed out and I don't know why any suggestions would be greatly received.
