Certain stables can make a weaving horse worse my friend had an Arab that weaved terribly so we tried him in different stables and we eventually found one he liked, the weaving basically stopped overnight so it might be worth moving her about if you can.
That’s actually really interesting because originally she was in the smaller stable on the yard and then I moved her when she was on box rest to the big one, maybe il try her in her original stable because she didn’t weave in there when I brought her home. She was feral so she was brought in on a night for the first week with my old boy until I could get near her before she went in the big field. Will definitely try that

Definitely try different stables my friends horse was in a row of stables and the road was behind them and there wasn't much of an outlook only the stables opposite and a view of the other side of the yard.

we moved him to a block of just 2 stables around the corner where he had a view of the fields and the arena and was further from the road, he literally stopped the weaving and box walking over night this pony just didn't cope with any kind of change, we moved him to a different field once and he started weaving in the field so he was quite a bad case.
