I have just bought one, my horse doesn’t have any issues with his stomach he was an ex-racer and picked it up as a habit as he was stuck in a stable, but he will wind suck all day long if you let him and it is affecting his weight quite badly, I have heard these are good but haven’t tried mine just yet. Hoping it works well for him 😊

I did not want a Collar that is so tight, they do not work and does damage to my horse. Purchased a Barclays Collar, was delivered immediately. After reading the simple instructions, I fitted the Collar, once I knew I had it fitted correctly I plugged in the wire to activate it, it took only 3 clicks/activations and my horse just walked away from it's favourite sucking spot. 3 weeks on still no sucking, but by this time I had to adjust or loosen the Collar a little, because my horse had gained weight. If I had not adjusted the Collar it would have still not functioned

Please read the new studies about cribbing and other stereotypical behaviours. They are behaviours a horse develops to cope with something. Usually stomach ulcers. If your horse does this, he/she does it to cope with pain or stress, it is NOT NICE and animal friendly to stop them from doing it especially not with a thight collar. The air doesnt go down to the stomach, it turns in the throat. The behaviour does not create colic but a horse can perform it to cope with colic and pain problem they would have anyway! Please for our horses sake dont put these kind of things on them, check them up at the vet and dont try to stop the behaviour, remember it is us humans who have a problem with it the horse just try to cope.

I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes. My native language is German, not English. Almost every horse starts cribbing because of stomach and/or gut problems, which are caused by: - stress due to training/sporting events - wheaning as a foal - not enough hay (in the wild horses graze up to 18 hours a day, because their stomachs produce acid 24/7) - bad quality hay - feeding the wrong things (too much grain, sweet feed, ...) - stress with other horses - standing in a small box all day (stress, because their natural needs aren`t met: exercise, social contact, grazing, ...) - stress through pain caused by injury or illness.... - ... In the end, it comes down to horses developing stomach problems, mostly ulcers, through bodily or psychological stress. They start cribbing to stimulate the production of saliva, which they then swallow to dilute their stomach acid. The acid and the saliva basically counteract each other. In the beginning it`s purely a bodily dependence, but it turns into a psychological dependence/addiction, because cribbing also causes the brain to release Dopamin. So, in the end, almost every horse cribs because it has PAIN, or had PAIN at some point in time!!! They may need cribbing as a bodily or mental relief!!! Also, the cribbing usually DOESN`T cause colic or stomach ulcers. It`s the other way round. The stomach ulcers or gut problems cause(d) the cribbing. ---- My horse cribs as well. And yes, I hate it just as much as everybody else. The sound is awful, he is grinding down his teeth and the fence posts. But, at one point in time, he needed cribbing as a relief and now it is an addiction. I would never use an anti-cribbing collar! Ever! Instead of treating what causes/d the cribbing in the first place, you are just treating the symptoms and steal a horse that one little bit of bodily or mental relief it has. I can`t tell others NOT TO USE an anti-cribbing collar. And I won`t. But I hope some of you might at least consider to look deeper into this topic and help your horse in other ways too, for example changing/improving their living arrangement, changing their feed, feeding more hay, check and treat for stomach ulcers, ...

Yes it is a problem if the horse does windsuck because can give him abdominal colic that can be fatal if you are to late but this is actually not a good way to stop it at all. Horses do these abnormal behaviours to calm down themselves from anxiety and boredom and if you prive them from it they will get even more stressed than he is at the moment and will learn other behaviours to calm him down. The best way is to distract him and give him "tasks" like giving him his food in a net so he takes more time to eat it and so because he is more occupied he won't be doing those behaviours for that time. Also horses are social animals so just by putting another animal in his box like a chicken or a sheep he will be distracted with it and also give him toys (for a horse that tire that you can't use anymore or a ball with proper size to him will be enought).
@aspstables46799 жыл бұрын
RaisingHeartSetUp Nope. I purchased a late weanling that lived out in a 10 acre pasture with a pony, another late weanling and some other horses. She had access to grass and was well kept by a small animal vet. She cribbed. She cribbed all of her life wore her teeth down to nubs, over developed the underside of her neck and destroyed fence posts and anything else that was sturdy enough to crib on. Once it becomes a habit it is more important to them than anything else. I currently have a horse boarded at my facility that will crib on the back of another horse if kept in a pasture where there are no suitable surfaces to crib on.
@PurpleEquine199210 жыл бұрын
I'm against any form of collar... Stress, lack of turnout, pain, stomach ulcers ect. all causes of wind sucking and cribbing... And it becomes a habit as it releases endorphins, much like people who smoke. Wind sucking is effectively a horse's version of a smoking habit. If you use collars and shocks, you're more likely to stress a horse out because they cannot wind suck. You can reduce the amount they do it by allowing them to be a horse... Notice how most cribbers and wind suckers are performance horses or have been at some point. Any one else who had a horse who does it, either needs to look at their care routine or have their horse checked by a vet. As it can be stomach ulcers making them want to crib and wind suck. I have known horses who don't have a hard life, but used to and therefore it becomes a habit that once they're stabled, they need to do it to get through it. Much like some people who smoke cannot go two hours whilst awake without having a puff. If these work without causing the horse stress i would be surprised. I can see if these are being used with adequate turnout and socializing with other horses they could be of use. But simply having them on and keeping the horse stabled 24/7 doesn't solve anything.

I think once it's a habit, it's a habit, it may not be the current owner's fault, they just buy a horse from someone who kept it locked up all the time and it developed the habit before it came to the new owner. Even with turn out and the company of other horses a horse will continue the behavior by using fence posts and the like. Since you're a horse trainer (I've barely ever even ridden horses so Idk) how would you fix the problem in that scenario? I worked in a barn once that had a horse that weaved, they kept a spray bottle on his stall door and used it to distract him and break him out of his weaving trance. He would even weave in his paddock because his previous owners kept him locked up all the time.

I have two friends, both with ex-racing thoroughbreds, both the horses windsuck, but both have been scoped for ulcers and don't have them. They have now turned to believe that for these particular horses, maybe they had ulcers, and started windsucking then, but kept doing it as a habitual thing after the ulcers were gone? That and one of the two does it when he is bored in a yard (like at shows)

WE had a cribbing horse, added toys into the stall and ensured he was well fed and he soon stopped, most of the time I found was because of boredom, a bit like animals pacing in a zoo with nothing to do. Bit like when people shake their feet while sitting out of habit I guess as well.

Greenerpastures is right. Horses crib because it releases endorphins in the brain. Its usually not because of digestive discomfort (or boredom, we have a horse that cribs all the time no matter where he is and he gets ridden EVERY day). Basically, your horse is just getting high:)
@GreenerPastures710911 жыл бұрын
Cribbing, no matter the original cause, becomes a severe addiction. Even once the issues that caused the cribbing are resolved and the horse is offered a natural environment with stimulation, exercise, supplements, and distractions, an addicted horse will always crib due to the endorphin release. Yes, an owner should FIRST determine why their horse cribs -- ulcers, stress, boredom, emotional coping, etc -- and resolve the cause. Negative reinforcement is a legitimate tool to ultimately stop them

It looks like a good product. It is certainly a better thing to give it a small shock than to have the horse become ill or have to be destroyed because of this type of habit. I like that the shock is delivered directly at the time of the behaviour, so it is black and white to the horse what is happening. This type of behaviour can be copied by other horses, so it is difficult to even find a stable that will rent to you if a horse cribs.

RaisingHeartSetUp Nope. I purchased a late weanling that lived out in a 10 acre pasture with a pony, another late weanling and some other horses. She had access to grass and was well kept by a small animal vet. She cribbed. She cribbed all of her life wore her teeth down to nubs, over developed the underside of her neck and destroyed fence posts and anything else that was sturdy enough to crib on. Once it becomes a habit it is more important to them than anything else. I currently have a horse boarded at my facility that will crib on the back of another horse if kept in a pasture where there are no suitable surfaces to crib on.
I'm against any form of collar... Stress, lack of turnout, pain, stomach ulcers ect. all causes of wind sucking and cribbing... And it becomes a habit as it releases endorphins, much like people who smoke. Wind sucking is effectively a horse's version of a smoking habit. If you use collars and shocks, you're more likely to stress a horse out because they cannot wind suck. You can reduce the amount they do it by allowing them to be a horse... Notice how most cribbers and wind suckers are performance horses or have been at some point. Any one else who had a horse who does it, either needs to look at their care routine or have their horse checked by a vet. As it can be stomach ulcers making them want to crib and wind suck. I have known horses who don't have a hard life, but used to and therefore it becomes a habit that once they're stabled, they need to do it to get through it. Much like some people who smoke cannot go two hours whilst awake without having a puff. If these work without causing the horse stress i would be surprised. I can see if these are being used with adequate turnout and socializing with other horses they could be of use. But simply having them on and keeping the horse stabled 24/7 doesn't solve anything.
My horse is in a massive paddock with plenty of other horses, loads of grass - still does it every chance she gets. She is never stabled or locked in a small yard.
Are you going to protest for electric and star post fencing too.?
I have a better idea. Rather than ordering one, change the way you treat your animals. That includes stopping using them on dogs too. There is no valid reason for using them. In Wales our Government has banned their use and for good reason. And before you rant about your 'expertise' I am also a dog trainer, and a horse trainer.
I think once it's a habit, it's a habit, it may not be the current owner's fault, they just buy a horse from someone who kept it locked up all the time and it developed the habit before it came to the new owner. Even with turn out and the company of other horses a horse will continue the behavior by using fence posts and the like. Since you're a horse trainer (I've barely ever even ridden horses so Idk) how would you fix the problem in that scenario? I worked in a barn once that had a horse that weaved, they kept a spray bottle on his stall door and used it to distract him and break him out of his weaving trance. He would even weave in his paddock because his previous owners kept him locked up all the time.
Idiot 😂
Poor horses, bored out of their minds trapped in their "stalls" (more like cells) why not let them be in open pastures with other horses, or at least give them some toys for the stall. You lock them up with nothing to do at all so they have to find ways to entertain themselves
I do believe what your saying, but what about those horses that have learnt it as a behaviour? I have two friends, both with ex-racing thoroughbreds, both the horses windsuck, but both have been scoped for ulcers and don't have them. They have now turned to believe that for these particular horses, maybe they had ulcers, and started windsucking then, but kept doing it as a habitual thing after the ulcers were gone? That and one of the two does it when he is bored in a yard (like at shows)
WE had a cribbing horse, added toys into the stall and ensured he was well fed and he soon stopped, most of the time I found was because of boredom, a bit like animals pacing in a zoo with nothing to do. Bit like when people shake their feet while sitting out of habit I guess as well.
HOW DO I ORDER ONE???? I have been a dog trainer for 19+ years and have used shock collars on them.. Ive got to do something about my 5 yr old Palamino Mare windsucking.. She is destroying all my fences, SHE TAUGHT MY 1 YR OLD STUD COLT TO DO IT! He never did it before we got her!! Ive tried numerous "cribbing collars" and she does it through them until she passes out! She has been to the vet 4 times for colic!! I have to stop this! Please tell me how to get one!!!
How did the collar work for you? i really want to know thanks!
I don't like the idea of punishing my horse for cribbing. It does wear down his teeth(that's what horse dentists are for people) but he's NEVEr had any stomach ulcers or tumors and he's never coliced. I see no point in punishing him, if I can't afford to take care of him then there's no point in me having horses.
Greenerpastures is right. Horses crib because it releases endorphins in the brain. Its usually not because of digestive discomfort (or boredom, we have a horse that cribs all the time no matter where he is and he gets ridden EVERY day). Basically, your horse is just getting high:)
Cribbing, no matter the original cause, becomes a severe addiction. Even once the issues that caused the cribbing are resolved and the horse is offered a natural environment with stimulation, exercise, supplements, and distractions, an addicted horse will always crib due to the endorphin release. Yes, an owner should FIRST determine why their horse cribs -- ulcers, stress, boredom, emotional coping, etc -- and resolve the cause. Negative reinforcement is a legitimate tool to ultimately stop them
OMG resent studies shows that horse windsuck because of stomach pains and now you want to punish them for medicating them selves ?? Im so freaking glad i live in Europe where we are so evolved in studies about windsucking.. This is animal curelty!!! no need to coment on me!! Instead of taking the easy way out start treating the real problem...
I believe so, just until your horse stops, and maybe a week or two after. Just in case. :)
It looks like a good product. It is certainly a better thing to give it a small shock than to have the horse become ill or have to be destroyed because of this type of habit. I like that the shock is delivered directly at the time of the behaviour, so it is black and white to the horse what is happening. This type of behaviour can be copied by other horses, so it is difficult to even find a stable that will rent to you if a horse cribs.
A Cruel treatment (NOT a cure) for a horse that is trying to relieve digestive discomfort. this is now a proven fact derived from intensive research by expert vets why horses do this. Cribbing does not cause ulcers... Ulcers & digestive discomfort cause cribbing. get your horse scoped and help him dont punish him
