Is your horse a cribber? Let’s talk about it. 🤓📝 Cribbing is a common behavior in horses where they grasp a fixed object with their incisors and arch their neck, often gulping air with a characteristic grunting sound.

Cribbing, otherwise known as crib biting or windsucking is where a horse bites onto a solid object (fence or gate) and sucks back air through the gullet. It is often learned when horses are exposed for long periods to stress, or isolation (kept alone in stables, or paddocked away from other horses). Scientifically, it is known as stereotypical behaviour. Here Andrew discusses the behaviour, which can often be indicative of an outstanding school horse. | Equitation Science International - ESI

To crib or not to crib? Cribbing is a very difficult habit to stop. I personally don’t know of any methods that are completely successful. When I used all the traditional methods to try and stop Sox it made him extremely unhappy and very stressed. So I chose to leave him be and 20 years later he is still thriving. Yes his teeth have been worn down but this does NOT effect his ability to graze or eat in the slightest. You can see this for yourself as he is in spanking condition for a 20 year old

Crib biting/cribbing/wind sucking What do we know? - Sometimes referred to as wind sucking. Wind sucking is when the horse arches the neck and sucks in air. Crib biting aka cribbing is wind sucking whilst holding on to a fixed object. A more scientific term is oral stereotypic behaviour. I will use the term crib biting in my post as an all-encompassing term as this is most commonly seen. - Paleontological evidence suggests that horses have been crib-biting since their domestication in the late P
