murakoziI got an email and a text message from a couple friends yesterday, asking what exactly cribbing is. Rather than try to explain it myself (meaning I'm lazy), I found a description online.

We've tried two different kinds of cribbing collars on Amigo. One did absoltely nothing. The other was kind of effective, but had to be cranked up pretty tight to slow him down. Tight enough that, when Amigo stubbornly cribbed anyway, we feared he was going to asphyxiate himself. Painting the wood with nasty tasting stuff didn't even cause him to pause. Some angle iron on the wood didn't work either. He actually pulled it off. Of course, he'd done enugh damage to his stall by then that the back wall already had some areas chewed down too far to put the angle iron on.
Fortunately, the horses on either side of him, Baby Doc and Chunky, haven't picked up the cribbing habit by watching Amigo.
