None of my current horses are cribbers...Hi Edward! None of my current horses are cribbers - but I had a pony when I was young that quite the cribber!! The best thing that worked for him was, of all things, vinegar!! At least it's cheap, eh? But I had to keep applying it after it rained. Eventually though- my diligence paid off because he quit. I know that doesn't usually happen though. "Chico" must have really NOT liked the smell or taste of vinegar, so he just gave up cribbing on the wood.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576090634674056178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209475776802800748.post-1755342705253232642011-09-04T11:31:44.762-07:002011-09-04T11:31:44.762-07:00Thanks for the comments.

I hope it really has done the trick I don’t see how he could wiggle his way out of this one, now we just need to get the whole paddock done like that and all will be well.<br /><br />Margaret, yup it sure looks like it was worth it.<br /><br />Mary, yes I think it is best thing to do I hate putting things on cribbers to try and stop them as it is nearly always horrid for the horse.<br /><br />Sherri, as always happy to hear you and your husband enjoyed the post, just wondering does your husband have a blog of his own?<br /><br />Deanna, cribbers can be such a pain to stop I am so glad we seem to have knocked it on the head for now. Does one of your equines crib? You seem to know a thing or two about stuff to stop cribbers. <br /> <br />Andrea, I am happy that we have been able to stop him cribbing all the time, but he will always be a cribber and I don’t think I will ever truly stop the habit but don’t mind just so long as he isn’t doing it all the time.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01147322172866367128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209475776802800748.post-59122318191807322532011-09-04T10:37:18.526-07:002011-09-04T10:37:18.526-07:00It's great that you've found a solution to...It's great that you've found a solution to a difficult problem!

I too, am not a fan of the cribber collar and I too have found that anything I put ON the wood would get washed off/diluted so it was not a long-term solution. I am delighted that you got creative and thought outside the box, so to speak. Now the problem is taken care of for good!! Well done!!Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576090634674056178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209475776802800748.post-56754705824017828052011-09-03T22:05:53.399-07:002011-09-03T22:05:53.399-07:00My husband and I got a big kick out of this post.....My husband and I got a big kick out of this post..especially the chili flavored post, hahahaha!

Like you said once a cribber probably always a cribber. I am glad he already knew what the white wire meant.
