Updated my blog with What is Horse Cribbing?
I have a died in the wool windsucker! Collars don't work of the horse is truely commited to doing it.
Now do you mean "Cribbing" as in chewing wood in stalls or paddocks? Or do you mean "Wind Sucking" as in grabbing a hold of a board, piece of metal pipe or anything else a horse can get their teeth onto?
The two seem to get confused a LOT lately.
For cribbing, you can normally paint the stall with products from creosote to products designed specifcally for horses like "chew stop", etc.
As for wind sucking, most horses will do it LESS if turned out for longer periods of time or out in pasture with other horses. When you have a wind sucker, you have to watch them regularly because they suck air into their stomach for that endorphin high and colic easier. I've had lots of other horses with this gelding and none have ever offered to try wind sucking, so it's an old wives tale that they teach other horses how to do it. You can try the collars but a died in the wool wind sucker will figure out a way around the collar.
One of my former students had a gelding who did this years ago and she noticed her now 6yr old TB mare starting it and asked the vet and did some research on her own and this is what she came up with.
"I did some research and talked to my vet. Both sources revealed that the behavior indicates the presence of ulcers! (I had no idea horses could get ulcers.) The vet also checked her teeth and determined that they needed to be floated, which was done. In fact, that was the first thing the vet suggested, saying that the chewing behavior is common in horses that need their teeth floated. The ulcers probably came about because she couldn't chew her food properly. I chose not to get ulcer medication, but instead feed an extra flake of Timothy Hay every evening. The vet confirmed that would help the condition, and also cautioned against sugary feed.
I'm happy to report that my mare is no longer chewing down her stall, and I've witnessed no more signs of windsucking. Now keep in mind that action was taken as soon as the signs were noticed. I don't believe she had time to get physically addicted. Still, I watch for signs, and continue to feed her extra Timothy. "
It's NOT the end of the world.
my horses is a chronic wind sucker ( from his racing days) but thank god his miracle collar works!! I know that there is a surgery you can get for them that removes the muscle that lets them do it, i am not sure how safe it is or the side effects but if your horse is loosing weight and spending all its time cribbing it might be something worth looking into.
Cribbing is a serious stable vice in which the horse braces his front teeth on a fence or stall door or wall ( or a feed manger, water trough, salt block holder or salt block, or just about any other solid, non mobile surface you can think of) opens his mouth, and proceeds to swallow a gulp of air with a loud grunting or moaning sound. This action triggers what's called an endorphin rush in the horse's brain- endorphins are chemicals which the body produces in response to pain or another kind of stimulation, and they make the horse feel really good. In essence the horse is giving him or herself a kind of "high", not unlike the one which would be felt if the animal were given narcotic drugs. This is the reason why cribbing is so addictive to horses- it feels really, really good to them, so they keep doing it.
But cribbing has a down side, as most addictive activities generally do. The vice predisposes horses which do this to colic and a whole host of other digestive problems, largely because cribbing horses swallow a lot of air, and this can cause painful spasms in the intestines and digestive tract if there is enough of it present. Also, cribbing is DESTRUCTIVE- it leads to wood chewing, and horses can swallow wood splinters and things like paint, and get sick off of these, too. The cribbing horse can also wear down and break his or her front teeth over time- horses' teeth were never designed or intended to take the kind of stress associated with this vice.Cribbing is a habit which results from either boredom or stress, and often from both. Horses learn to crib by watching other horses do it- that's one reason why it's important to keep horses which don't have the vice away from those who do. There are ways to control the vice, however. The most obvious of these is the cribbing collar, which is a device made of metal that is worn high on the neck of the cribbing horse. The device is hinged, and it prevents cribbing by preventing the horse from tightening and engaging the neck muscles which are used in cribbing. Cribbing collars are available in a variety of types and sizes. In extreme cases, surgery is sometimes an option- this involves clipping the ends of the nerves which feed the muscles in the neck of the horse, thus cutting off the sensation to them. Still another option is the installation of "cribbing rings" in the horse's upper jaw, between the front teeth. These rings, which are made of copper or another alloy, are inserted between the horse's front teeth and discourage cribbing by making it very painful for the horse to do this. They prevent the horse from getting its teeth braced enough to crib, and thus prevent the vice from occuring, Other measures often are not effective- painting wood surfaces with creosote or another compound only works part of the time- there are actually cases in which horses LIKE the taste of such substances, which makes them useless as a prevention aid. There is NO cure for cribbing- it's an addiction which lasts a lifetime in a horse. As for riding a horse that's a pacer, I've done that. I had a friend once, a long time ago, who had an ex pacer. Pacing is a gait in which the horse moves the front and rear leg on one side of his or her body forward at the same time, and then switches to the other pair of legs. This produces an exaggerated side to side motion which is rather difficult to sit to, and it's the reason why pacers are sometimes called "side wheelers" by horse people. Riding your pacer in two point position during pacing may make it easier for you to keep your own balance and stay on him. The big drawback to pacers is that it's almost impossible to teach them to trot or to canter once they have really learned to pace- they have real problems keeping their balance.
I hope this helps !!
I had a gelding that was a terrible cribber. I tried every spray and paint on remedy I could get my hands on. They all worked temporarily, but nothing long term. I suggest the miracle collar, with the fleece cover (unfortunately the cover must be bought separately). I had a terrible experience with the nutcracker style. My horse had somehow twisted it sideways and it was cutting off his airway. Luckily I was there when it happened so no permanent damage was done!!!!
