4 VICE DESCRIPTION CAUSES TREATMENT Cribbing Wind sucking is characterized by the horse biting onto something hard like a stall door or fence post and sucking in and swallowing air. Endorphins are released during the behavior; horse is addicted to endorphins which stimulate pleasure center of brain.

Pawing Dr Kashif Ishaq Digs holes; tips over feeders & waterers; gets leg caught in fence; wears hooves away, loses shoes; most often young horses. Confinement, boredom, excess feed. Curable. Provide exercise, diversion, don't use ground feeders and waterers, use rubber mats, don't reinforce by feeding. Formal restraint lessons. 7 Cribbing Dr Kashif Ishaq 8 4
5 Pawing Dr Kashif Ishaq 9 VICE DESCRIPTION CAUSES TREATMENT Biting Bolting often associated with stallions Bite herd mates or humans Object biting Horse tends to eat too fast (can lead to colic) Gallop off at speed, totally out of control of the rider, s. Dr Kashif Ishaq Normally gentle horses may bite when groomed in a rough manner or when their girth is tightened when exercised. Also done in selfdefence. Ponies will bite at children if they are being harassed Suffering from any painful, physical problems. Does the saddle fit properly and is his bit comfortable in his mouth lack of Training or bad experience Remove the cause Using a short-sharp smack on a fleshy part of your horse accompanied by a disapproving NO as soon as he has tried to bite you will help - eventually your horse will respond to your disapproving NO! and hopefully stop completely. Avoid riding in large, open spaces if you do ride out, go with another horse that is quiet and confident. Check pain source 10 5
