There’s another alternative on the market, but is it right for you and your horse?
Most barn owners know the sound right away—a hurried, determined munching as a horse works his teeth along the boards in his stall or paddock. Some barn managers won’t board a horse who cribs, and some buyers won’t go look at one.
Cribbing is one of several “stable vices” that confined or frustrated horses sometimes acquire. These repetitive actions stimulate a release of endorphins in the body, giving the horse a sense of wellbeing.
