Hi Cherry, my name is Hannah.

My horse, i just recently got her about 2 months ago and it has been raining a lot in michigan...so i have been keeping her in her stall a lot during the day. And of course i provide hay and after she gets done eating that I assume that she gets bored and she is eating and chewing the wood. How can i stop this behavior?

Thanks a bunch -Hannah

Hi Hannah,

If you go to my main article page, which is

Cherry Hill's Horse Information Roundup,

you will see a Search box toward the top of the page. If you type in "chewing wood" you will get search results for the articles that relate to your problem. In this case, the first article that comes up in the search is Cribbing or Wood Chewing.

If you want more information on Wood Chewing, refer to the following books and DVDs:

Horsekeeping on a Small Acreage

Stablekeeping

Horse Housing

Your Horse Barn DVD

I'm often away or at the barn so don't get around to answering these questions for a while. I hope you learn how to use the Search Tool on the Roundup page because it will help you locate what you need fast !!
