Question
I have just moved stables and my horse always scrapes she has always got water and hay and she has stable toys but she seem to always stand at the door and paws her shoes have nearly worn out. also wen i put her in the field she always jumps out any advise? . thank you

Answer
does she have any friends she can see in the stables? Alot of horses do this in stables, She will get used to it eventually as long as she has a friend...and as for jumping out of paddocks run a hotwire fence along her boundry about a meter inside the fence so she makes it look too wide for her to jump. Hope this helps. Karen
