Cribbing: how often is this thought of as a nuisance, bothersome habit, and something unable to change without using some sort of restrictive device, surgery, or collar? I've even had a dentist tell me that some vets & dentists will put contraptions in the horses mouth (cribbing rings) to stop the behavior inflicting great pain in the process. There are a number of theories and misconceptions involved around this behavior. Natural Horse magazine recently put out an article about (holistic) cures for cribbing that for me was a breath of fresh air. If you get a moment, check it out! I've linked it here for your convenience.
