Vices are those annoying habits that horses tend to get into when they are not feeling well or have been abused. Just like people horses can get very stressed out when they are under pressure or badly managed and repetitive behaviour is one of the ways they use to cope with the situation.

Thus when your horse starts crib biting, wind sucking or weaving he or she may be just bored and frustrated or may have stomach ache caused by eating the wrong sort of food together with build up of acid. Changing the diet can be all important in these situations once stress has been taken out of the immediate environment.

And don't forget that boredom can be an important cause of stress in some horses.
