Cribbing

Question

What is cribbing for an electric fence and how is it prevented or/and fixed?

Andy · Accepted Answer

Not sure if this is the answer your looking for, but cribbing is a term for horses who lock their jaw on to a fence or rail and gulp in air.To prevent this some owners install an electrified wire which can easily be added to an existing fence. This option can prevent "cribbing" or chewing the tops of wood fences, as well as keeping horses from jumping, or prevent animal pressure on the fence. It is critical that the hot electrical wire does not touch the wooden fence. A range of insulators is available to allow an electrified wire to be erected on the top or interior of the fence. Offset type insulators will put the fence wire away from the existing fence, preventing animals from pressing against it. Hope this helps.

Basically cribbing is when horses are biting or chewing fence post making then breath heavy, the understanding is that an electric fence will help elevate the need to chew
