Weaving why?

[Flowerofthefen]

Why would a horse that's never weaved
( owned 8 years) start weaving? No changes to anything.

Ulcers?

Weaving or weight shifting?

Ulcers?

Why would it be ulcers? Just trying to learn more.

Weaving or weight shifting?

Oo not sure. What is the difference? From what I saw today I would say the horse was weaving.

 

[Dave's Mam]

I think weaving would seem to be a more dynamic movement of the front end. The weaving horse I know makes it look determined.
Weight shifting might be more delicate, but it's relieving pain in the feet, so it's a slower, gentle movement.
Am I explaining what I mean ok?

I think I understand. I would weaving then rather than ' swaying'.

Are feeds left outside the door?

How much turnout is the horse getting?

One of mine started weaving when he had ulcers (amongst the classic ulcer signs he had - girthiness, biting, and bucking on canter transition). He hasn't done it in the 2 years since.

Ulcers and or pain from elsewhere including physiological discomfort.
