Stop Horse From Chewing!!?

My soon-to-be 5 year old horse is chewing everything in siteHe's completely mauled our wooden shed and has started going for the treesHow can I help stop this behavior?He's on 24/7 turnout with 2 other horsesThere are toys throughout the very large two fields they have access tooHe does not get grain, but is given excellent quality hay 3X a dayI'm assuming he's chewing out of boredom, but it's now too cold where I live to exercise himCould it be a deficiency in his diet, maybe fiber?Thanks very much!

Answer:

Is the computer blinking or your wireless router.
your nic (network interface card) should have been auto-detected and the drivers installed, how are you trying to connect ? if its wireless then try a lan cable first, get the settings from your router and configure wireless
I am sorry for you, because this is the most common and most hard to be rid of stable vice, called cribbingIf he is with the other horses all the time, it is likely they will start ,tooHe wont stop this if he is on constant turn out, so that would need to stopThere are sprays for stable doors and such that are unpleasnt tasting to the horse, which will urge him to discontunie chewing on the wood of the stbe doornow, the fence and trees, that wouldnt be a practical solutionThough that is probably the best to start withTis does often happen when horses are boredYou said they have toys, was he doing this before they had toys? if so than it was most likely bordum as the reason for startingHe may have had this vice since he was young, if you purchased him from another ownerAnother reason is he may be lacking in nutrition, so b sure that all your horses are getting the nutrients they need from their foodFrom how you descibe it, it seems to have turned into somehting more serious, wind suckingYou may get a cribbing collar, which you can get from a vet or local horse storeThis will not solve the problem, but will reduce itTalk to your vet to see if he has unclers, because cribbing horses are more likely to have unclers and lower ph level in the gastrointestnal systemsMost of all, this will take time and dedicationTry putting a mirror in our horses stall or on a side of a building in the pasture, or any sutibale placeThis will be a good distaction toyGet a certified equine dentist to check your horses teeth becuase cribbing can damage your horses incesorsHope this helps!!!
