We have an eleven year old gelding that will posture to pee and pee a small amount and then unposture and then repeat. He will do this over and over again. Usually see it while we are shoeing him, or if we are getting ready to run him and after he runs.

Check for beans and then run a bag of kidney cleansing herbs through him. I can't remember what we used a few years ago but it clearer up our frequent urinator, I think Silver Lining has some. I've noticed him peeing more so it may be time to do again.

I would definitly get him cleaned if you havent already. Is his pee normal? That isnt a normal behavior so it would worry me a bit. see if you can check for a UTI.

Please keep us updated. I have an 11 yr old gelding who does the same thing, but only in the summer, so I assumed it was because of the bugs. I ordered Silver Lining Herbs Kidney this week.

Checked for beans last fall. We have a vet appt for him tomorrow. Started him on kidney cleanse.
Thank you.
Beans can develop pretty quick, I typically check every month or so, really whenever they drop in front of me and I haven't checked in a bit i give them a quick look - especially if I notice weird peeing habits.
