I actually think I'd rather have a horse put to sleep than subject them to that |

My god that is vile. I don't see how that would just cause pain when cribbing, surely it will be causing pain constantly? And there is a huge risk of the ring getting caught on something and causing major injury.
That should be illegal.

''Surgery is more effective, removing portions of the neck muscles required for cribbing, but not always successful. Laser surgery to remove a portion of the nerves to those neck muscles is more successful, but many horsemen are reluctant to choose this expensive option.''
I must be living in a parallel universe.

I assume it is in UK? I have found it really distressing actually and the article itself too. No mention of the horses perspective just how inconvenient and annoying it is for owners and how dreadful property is damaged. Why is the focus on cribbing usually on stopping it instead of managing and the big one, PREVENTING it in the first place. |

Yes, I know, sorry, I was following on from Lisa in Plymouth's post " That should be illegal". I should have been clearer and Kanga posted in between. lol Btw, I think it's they who are on a parallel universe, not us! Is it legal in UK? |

Why is the focus on cribbing usually on stopping it instead of managing and the big one, PREVENTING it in the first place. Because once the habit is established nothing stops them really. A fantastic pony I had used to crib, Id never have afforded her if she didnt. She had lived with her stable door wired up and all fences she had access to yet she still tested them she was so desperate and she was not a really over enthusiastic cribber either. As she got older she did it more despite being out most of the time and never having no haylage. What gets me most is even the owners dont care about the horse much at all, how do they expect them to ride well with them in their gums? Where is the common sense/logic/reasoning? Surely having that done and having a horse that wants to crib and is crap to ride than having a cribber and putting a bar at the back of the stable so they can do it out of sight? Must admit, the noise made me cringe  But i had her for years on a few yards and she never taught it to one other horse! |

Shocked that anyone would even think of doing something like that.
