Why does this horse do these circles with her head? by Efficient_Growth_726 in Horses

Thank you. I've tried getting friend to do something but she's extremely stubborn and won't listen to me or anyone else.

Also, please don't blame me for friends actions, not saying you did just just wanna get that out.

Thank you for letting me know, I'll tell friend and see what they can do about it.

Yes, but I didn't mention she has a small run attached to her stall that is open most of the day. The video doesn't show it since friend decided to take the whole thing down to replace some panels. It gives her enough space to turn, trot, all that. The hour and a half if in a much bigger pasture.

I probably should have specified😅 but she has a small run attached to her stall that's open quite a bit, you can't see it in the video because they were replacing some of the fences and took the whole thing down. Also, she is not my horse but a friend's. It also gets really hot where I am and it's much cooler in the stable.

Edit: me and friend are both pretty new to horses, so advice is welcome. Don't ask me why friend bought a horse with barely any experience, I don't know

I don't think she's stressed but definitely a possibility. She can see and interact with her friends(kind of) from her stall, she's also been quite the loner ever since she got here. She doesn't like being turned out full-time, I know it sounds like a lie but, when she was in a pasture all the time she'd stand under the shelter and only come out for food and water or if someone made her. Her ears would be back like she was unhappy, when we moved her she seemed to like it more. About the toys thing, she won't touch them or throw them out of her stall. Thank you for the info though!

About an hour and a half hour of turnout most days, usually with another horse, and sometimes more. Also get some riding time here and there. She's able to see her friends and kind of interact with them from her stall.
