Firstly, what is the difference between the two?
And would you guys consider buying/loaning a cribber/windsucker. I have been offered the chance of loaning/buying v v cheap a five year old that grabs doors, fence posts etc and gulps air. I am not interested in making money but also don't want to get attched to a horse that will have a load of health problems as a result. Other than that she would be a perfect little horse for me.
She is at a yard with restricted turnout but gets turned out more than the others (for about 4 hours a day. They have it controlled in the stable using cribbox and a door grille so she doesn't do it when stood in but will stand out in the field doing it, actually stopping grazing to wander over to a fence post even with a nutcraker collar on although I believe these have to be extremely tight to actually work.
Any advice or ideas of potential management of this problem?
