Yawning

Hello,
Does anyone know the reason or reasons a horse may start to yawn  
excessively. I recently have taken a horse with a 2 week lease toward  
purchase. After a 
couple of days, he started to yawn. Maybe 6 to 8 times  in a row. I have been 
told this is because of pain, having to adjust to a  new environment, or liver 
problems. All different vets or  people horse owner answers.  I am taking him 
to the vet  today to check him out. He hasn't had his sheath cleaned and he 
is 6 years  old. So he may have a bean. He is also grieving for his old buddies 
and  home. He seems to be sound otherwise. Just had his feet done, and his 
feet  are fine. Incidentally he is a cross. Mom is 1/2 Arab and 1/2 QH, and his 
 
dad is 1/2 QH and 1/2 Fjord. He is a really cute buckskin dun and very  well 
trained. Gets alone well with my Fjord. Thanks,  Onna

Onna,
 
I have 2 Fjords that yawn excessively during stressful situations.  If I am 
training and they don't understand, they start yawning.  I think this is very 
common as I also had a Foxtrotter that did the same thing.  Give him some time 
to settle and I bet it stops.
 
Good Luck,
 
Julie
