Behaviour modification device
for horses that windsuck
Windsucking, or Cribbing, is
a potentially fatal condition that can affect
almost any horse that has been stabled or is on
agistment. It is a learned behaviour that stems
from boredom. It is learned from other horses.
The Barclay Anti-Cribbing Collar offers a cure
without the need for continual human intervention.
The collar contains a switch that is activated
when the horse tenses its neck muscles before
windsucking. It delivers a mild static charge,
comparable to that we sometimes experience when
getting out of car.
Fitted
correctly the collar does not interfere with breathing,
eating or drinking yet delivers a gentle but effective
reminder each time the horse attempts to windsuck.
It will
do no harm to the horse and will deter the animal
from repeating this potentially fatal practice.
