[RC] cribbing - rides2farMy friend had a backup horse that cribbed but he'd never mentioned that. I actually rode it on its first 2 50's. Talked another friend into buying it and she had a successful couple of years on him, then after a divorce wanted to sell him. Got my neice to buy him and when he came here I discovered he cribbed. I was kinda ticked off that nobody told us. I would NOT have bought him if I'd known. He was great for my neice for several years, then she got married. Now he's carrying a junior...very successfully. He's 15, never a colic, GREAT attitude, SOUND, loves to go down the trail. Wish to goodness I'd bought him for myself. If this was a 'prospect" I'd say pass. But if this horse has a lot of other stuff going for it, broke, good attitude, sound, etc. I'd think twice before I tossed him out. A cribbing strap stops cribbing. That's a lot easier to fix than bad attitude, not sound, etc. Angie =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
