I have a 9 yo TB gelding.I got him off the track. I have to get rid off him asap.I live on rental property and his cribbing has gotten me into trouble. He is one of the best riding horses. I trust him with my 4 & 8 yo.children. I have a 16 month who runs all around his legs. He was raced, but he doesn't act like it. He is my baby. Please help.
Need help finding home for a cribber

maybe you dontt have to sell him, maybe you can full lease him out to a lesson program with experience riders that do projects or something, that way you can keep him at another farm but hell pay for himself and you can still ride and own him ?

Whats his name? And have you tried the face grill? I had a manic cribber and that stopped her but she could still eat

What in the world...
...is a cribber?
At first I thought you were just being funny and asking to get rid of a "cridder".

Cribbing: the aquired habit of a horse to grasp an object (usually wood stall doors, fence, etc) with their incisors, arch their neck and suck in air. Some can do this without using their teeth as well.
The habit usually causes a lot of damage to whatever the horse is grasping and will ruin the teeth as well.

That is stupid. I don't care how calm a horse is, you should NEVER let a baby or child "run all around his legs." That is just plain stupid.

Hi Amber...this is what I used on my mare that wouldn't stop cribbing, it worked!

Can't be the same one, I didn't sell him to them for $3500
...I am the one that brought Wolfie aka Wolf Doctor home from the track and can give you the financials and details behind him. He is an AWESOME minded horse, very nice mover and a heart of gold. He does crib, and it is not controllable with a miracle collar...he needs the grill. PM me and I will give full disclosure of the details. If Amber would like, I will buy Wolfie back for what she paid less $100 so I can pick him up.
