I have just bought one, my horse doesn’t have any issues with his stomach he was an ex-racer and picked it up as a habit as he was stuck in a stable, but he will wind suck all day long if you let him and it is affecting his weight quite badly, I have heard these are good but haven’t tried mine just yet. Hoping it works well for him 😊
I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes. My native language is German, not English. Almost every horse starts cribbing because of stomach and/or gut problems, which are caused by: - stress due to training/sporting events - wheaning as a foal - not enough hay (in the wild horses graze up to 18 hours a day, because their stomachs produce acid 24/7) - bad quality hay - feeding the wrong things (too much grain, sweet feed, ...) - stress with other horses - standing in a small box all day (stress, because their natural needs aren`t met: exercise, social contact, grazing, ...) - stress through pain caused by injury or illness.... - ... In the end, it comes down to horses developing stomach problems, mostly ulcers, through bodily or psychological stress. They start cribbing to stimulate the production of saliva, which they then swallow to dilute their stomach acid. The acid and the saliva basically counteract each other. In the beginning it`s purely a bodily dependence, but it turns into a psychological dependence/addiction, because cribbing also causes the brain to release Dopamin. So, in the end, almost every horse cribs because it has PAIN, or had PAIN at some point in time!!! They may need cribbing as a bodily or mental relief!!! Also, the cribbing usually DOESN`T cause colic or stomach ulcers. It`s the other way round. The stomach ulcers or gut problems cause(d) the cribbing. ---- My horse cribs as well. And yes, I hate it just as much as everybody else. The sound is awful, he is grinding down his teeth and the fence posts. But, at one point in time, he needed cribbing as a relief and now it is an addiction. I would never use an anti-cribbing collar! Ever! Instead of treating what causes/d the cribbing in the first place, you are just treating the symptoms and steal a horse that one little bit of bodily or mental relief it has. I can`t tell others NOT TO USE an anti-cribbing collar. And I won`t. But I hope some of you might at least consider to look deeper into this topic and help your horse in other ways too, for example changing/improving their living arrangement, changing their feed, feeding more hay, check and treat for stomach ulcers, ...
Please read the new studies about cribbing and other stereotypical behaviours. They are behaviours a horse develops to cope with something. Usually stomach ulcers. If your horse does this, he/she does it to cope with pain or stress, it is NOT NICE and animal friendly to stop them from doing it especially not with a thight collar. The air doesnt go down to the stomach, it turns in the throat. The behaviour does not create colic but a horse can perform it to cope with colic and pain problem they would have anyway! Please for our horses sake dont put these kind of things on them, check them up at the vet and dont try to stop the behaviour, remember it is us humans who have a problem with it the horse just try to cope.
This is just cruel and lazy! Cribbing is a behavior issue caused by pain, stress, boredom, living conditions, and sometimes health issues! and this just adds to it! Cripping is a cope mechanism there is no quick fix to this problem! I have 2 horses both had cribbing issues and with some extra training and research, they r both crib free!! There is no such thing as a bad horse! Just bad owners!!!!
I have a mare on 160 acers, 4 pasture mates, plenty of food, rode regularly cleared for ulcers that still cribs. And shes very stress free. I can't figure out anything for her
my horse and donkey chew on the trees as well. I think it has something to do with minerals, as long as the animals health is ok. you show be find. As long as the health and fencing is ok, you should be ok. I haven't had any big problems.
I bought it and it doesn't work ... fragile material in 3 days the horse broke the impulse it is very weak that the horse does not even feel and does not carry so it is not every time the horse pulls the air that the impulse appears ... don't buy .. Comprei e não funciona ... material fragil em 3 dias o cavalo quebrou o impulso é muito fraco que o cavalo nem sente e não carrega então não é toda vez que o cavalo puxa o ar que o impulso aparece .. não comprem ..

What training and research did you do that was effective to stop your horses from cribbing?
I have a mare on 160 acers, 4 pasture mates, plenty of food, rode regularly cleared for ulcers that still cribs. And shes very stress free. I can't figure out anything for her
what exactly is the "extra" training?
@@crazyequestrians5083 how long have you been with her? she could’ve had previous issues if it was with another owner
@@crazyequestrians5083 let her do it. its just us humans that stresses about it. put a soft material she can lean her teeth against
