Its when a horse bites down on their stall door, or a wooden fence, and suck in air. They usually do it when they are bored. But the air fills their stomach and makes them feel like they're full, when they're really not, leading to them to not eating. This habit usually happens if the horse has too much stall rest and doesn't have a jolly ball or lick-it.

Cribbing serves as a high, and most likely comes about as a result of boredom.Cribbing can not be completely stopped in most cases, but can be minimized with a cribbing collar, you can probably get one of those at your local vet or tack shop.

If your horse is in fact cribbing, ask yourself why he/she may be doing it? Boredom? Are you keeping him/her inside a stall most of the time or all the time? Is he/she not getting enough exercise?
