Naughty horse chewing / ripping rugs. help....

[teresagarsden]

Hi all,
I need some help from you.
My 5 yr section D has now ruined 2 of my ponies rugs by grabbing the tail flap and pulling her or lifting her off the floor, He has ruined her outdoor rug so he is now in a seperate field with the old girl ( he wont touch her rug, he would get a face full of hooves)

Can anybody recommend something that works that i can spray, paint or cover the rug with, to stop him doing this as i have to rest the field he is now in and put them all back into the winter paddock.
I know there are a few products on the market but before i spend a fortune i need recomendations and advice.
Thanks in advance all.

Teresa.

Cribstop works on some. But I do know one or two that actually seem to like the taste! I suspect it will be a case of trial and error but cribstop is a reasonable place to start.

Cribox paste seems to work - it can be a little messy, but they don't like the taste!

I used Naf No Bite on my boys rugs as the pig of a horse he shared the field with was shredding his rugs to bits. It seems to work but make sure you don't spray in any wind because it tastes horrible if it gets into your mouth.

I put No Bite on my mares rugs and you know when you just have to know what something tastes like? I stuck my tongue on it! Have to say it tasted pretty vile.
