My new horse windsucks Can anybody recommend products to put on his stable door to prevent this?
I think he does it when he is bored!! I have put cribox on EVERY fence post in the field and put him in with a mare for some company - this has stopped it in the field.
He does it in the stable when he isn't getting any attention and when he has finished his food (hard feed). I have introduced a likit, which keeps him occupied for a whole 5 minutes!! And he has ad-lib haylage when stabled.
I put cribox on the stable door but it seems to wear off quite quickly and he just tries chew the side of the door casing instead!! I can't put cribox on the sides of the door because they are brand new stables and the YO will moan about them looking scruffy with brown stuff everywhere!!
Is there anything other than cribox that is good for detering windsucking/crib-biting?
