Video - anyone seen this before, horse leaning in stable?

[laurenn1010]

Noticed horse doing this occasionally, vet says just boredom? Shes not itching but rather bumping back into the wall which sits out a little. She's damaging her tail as leaning on it! :-/

I was in process of grabbing other rug , which is why it's moved a little in first video btw. Second clip is little more clear.

First clip is private.. however have you wormed for pinworms? Just bumping her tail may be enough to "relieve" the itch?

Yeah looks to me like rubbing or scratching, Deff go down the worming route

 

[casspow]

I third the worm route. Treat for pinworm

 

[Beausmate]

She's not in season, is she?

 

[Pinkvboots]

Agree looks like itchy tail or bum.

"Possible Sacriallic joint injury strain" ?

Weird!

Rocking back can be an issue with the feet, or neurological - but from the video it looks like she's doing the itchy wiggly lip thing! So my guess would also be itchy

 

[BraidedTail]

I agree - She looks like she's itchy but knows she's not supposed to scratch! ( My pony does this - only starts really rubbing once you're out of sight - he's had dreadful pinworm)

I've seen similar behaviour in a very flirty in-season mare.

Me too, flirty, in season mare. To my husband's horror she tried to do it on him:eek3:

She is a flirty mare most of the time, I don't think she is in season though at present, she has been wormed and doesn't actually scratch but rather leans/bumps!

I was starting to get worried about Sacroillic joint, as on another simalar post they mentioned it :-/

She worries me x

 

[laurenn1010]

Anyone else any thoughts on this?

Horse on the yard once with pin worm, all up to date with worming programme etc, vet didn't get it first time. Once diagnosed it was a little tricky to treat but soon cleared up.
That horse displayed slightly odd behaviour, soon stopped once worms were treated. I'd be tempted to go down that route.

Is she still doing this only your last post was in 2015?

Hope she is OK

 

[laurenn1010]

It only occurs in stable, and as she is only stables at night in winter it came to my attention again.... vet checked said not to worry it's a habit? She has been wormed up to date and most recently with pramox, does that treat pinworm? None of my other horse seem to have this habit but is it possible pinworm would affect only one?

Back has been done also and was given all clear. Just wondered if anyone else horse had this behaviour? She is riding fine.

I seen that twice it was ulcers in both horses.

One of ours stands bum against the wall and sleeps, no rubbing though, but the tail is still ruined by it! Back checked all ok, not lame, so I'm not sure why either! Although yours definitely looks a bit itchy!
