Return homeUnderstanding Cribbing Behaviour
Cribbing, also known as wind-sucking, is a common stable vice where horses grasp a solid surface and suck in air. It can lead to dental wear, digestive issues and damage to stables or fencing. Using a crib stop product can help discourage this behaviour safely and effectively without causing stress or discomfort.
Choosing the Right Crib Stop Product
Anti-cribbing solutions are available in several forms, including sprays, gels and liquids that taste unpleasant to horses, discouraging them from chewing on wood or other surfaces. Straps or collars can also be used to gently limit the physical motion of cribbing, offering a practical option for persistent habits.
Safe and Effective Formulas
Modern crib stop sprays and gels are non-toxic, containing natural ingredients such as bitter apple or tannin extracts. These solutions are designed to deter chewing while being safe for horses, other animals and stable materials. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions for the best results.
Caring for the Environment
Applying crib stop products helps protect your stable, tack and fences from wear, saving time and money on maintenance. Regular cleaning of treated areas and reapplication as needed ensures ongoing effectiveness.
