She is trying to get my attention
  •    My horse when she really wants me to come over and pay attention to her she will rub her teeth over the metal stall door.  I have tried making a loud noise until she stops and have a whip and hit it really hard on the ground. That stops her for a little bit until she knows that it will not hurt her. She only does it when some one is in the barn with her. Not because she is bored. I don't know what else to try.
  • Sounds like she is bored.  I would try putting some toys in her stall to keep her mind busy.
  • yup she's bored, and she's learned that when she does it, the human gives her more attention - even if it's negative attention.

    I agree with toys, also you might look into a product called the 'amazing graze' its a grazing toy - sounds like it would keep them busy for hours!!

    what is her diet & exercise like??
