If you knew me you would want to be me Posts: 13645 Location: Utah	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. Any idea why? Thanks in advance.

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.
