Cribbing is what is known as a stable vice. This destructive behaviour is usually limited to confined horses that are nervous and/or bored. It is the horse's way to dissipate execess energy and entertain himself. It is not only destructive to your fences and barn but is bad for the horse. Consuming wood is not healthy, and many horses when cribbing also 'wind suck' or take in air into the digestive tract. In the worst case scenario a horse could develope colic.
Prevention is the best solution. If possible, the horse should be let out or at least exercised on a regular basis. Adjust the horse's feed, to much sweetfeed results in too much energy for the stalled equine. You can treat the wood your horse is exposed to with pepper sprays especially for this purpose. Cribbing devices or collars can help also. But the ideal situation is to reduce the horse's time in the small enclosure as much as possible. Horses, biologically speaking, evolved in wide open spaces, this is where they are the most comfortable and happy.
