Cribbing in Horses: Myths, Stress Triggers, and Practical Management

Dr. Nicole Rambo and Sarah talk all about cribbing, which is a common horse behavior that is often linked to stress and may become an addictive coping habit. In this episode, they explain how cribbing differs from wood chewing and clear up myths about ulcers, “sucking air,” and horses copying each other. They also look at possible links to genetics, gut bacteria, and certain types of colic. Finally, they discuss practical ways to manage cribbing through better forage, lower stress, and understanding each horse’s triggers.
