What do you think this horse is trying to say....
I was passing by and saw the horses and since I had my camera with me I decided to stop. This one was very forward and the more photos I took the more he chewed on the fence.
Stressed?
Hungry?
Looking for attention?
Needs dental work?

What was he trying to tell me? It's nothing to do with being hungry.

So he could be teething as well? Can you tell how old he is by looking at his teeth?

I wouldn't think so. Those are not milk teeth and they are concave and leveled which means It's an older horse than has been grazing. I'd put his age around 6 to 8 years old.

Looks like he likes you.

I am not sure how common cribbing is, in all my years around
all types and fairly large numbers of horses, I've never known
a cribber. Couple of wood chewers, but they were horses that
came to board with us from other places, and had already developed
the habit.
I wonder if it might be due to the places horses are kept. We had very
large pastures for ours, and lots of riding and trips away for shows.
Horses Oscar knows are more stabled? Do you know any 'weavers'?

Horses Oscar knows are more stabled? Do you know any 'weavers'? Yes, race horses are rarely Cribbers or wood chewers because the are schooled every day. Cribbing Is more common In horses out to pasture or grazing and where boredom sets In.

In the UK, then, I guess. Or stabled horses that are just left sit there.
Here, there is a lot less boredom among pastured groups of horses.
I do know some people who buy toys for their horse, and/or feed
with hay nets, which keeps them occupied longer.
