Stopping a tail flat destroyer!

[Vodkagirly]

What's best to spray on rugs to stop a pony who likes to pull tail flaps? I was thinking of an anti cribbing spray but no idea what's good/bad.
Open to other suggestions before more rugs are trashed!

That cribbox stuff is vile.

Mustard maybe? Garlic or chilli infused oil?

I covered mine with crib box, which seemed a shame on a nice rug but

Liquid cribbox is brilliant

My mum used to paint my sisters nails with bitter aloes to stop her chewing them.

NAF do a spray called No Bite for rugs and stuff. It is great, works realky well and doesn't wash off immediately. Just reapply after extended periods of rain.

Doesn't make the rugs sticky or appear to affect waterproofness.

Also make sure you are up wind when spraying it on as if it gets in your nose/mouth you'll taste it all day.

Super Red Hot spray works on all field rugs to stop a dedicated rug ripper from undressing his field companions. I am not sure if you can get it in the Uk though, but it really works. Far better than anything else I have tried over the years. One of my donkeys is a serial rug destroyer. https://www.orchardequestrian.com/Su-Per-Red-Hot-Spray-946ml

Vaseline mixed with neem oil works as well. Very messy, spoils the rug but foils the rug ripper. We had a tail ripper a couple of years ago that fully removed 50% of my piebald cob's lovely tail by ripping it from the roots. This mixture worked, on tail and tail flap.
