What a pain if they get the cribbing habit! I've seen them to a lot of damage to barns and fences in a hurry, too. Luckily, Cyn doesn't appear to have this habit.... Which is good, because we have a lot of untreated wood around.

Here's pics of barn progress...

Below: Again... Here is progress as of yesterday. Moved much of the hay to Bay's old stall in the back there, put up the wall down the middle...

Below: Today, finished the wall and installed the feeders and the mangers. The opening where the feeders are was a design-on-the-fly idea... thought we could easily pour the grain in through those holes from the outside.

Bay checks it out....

Pony checks it out coming out from her old stall into the new area. There will be rails defining the two new stalls where that new post is, and all three stalls will open to the outside into the lean to.

Your barn looking good, I like the feeders.

Rocky has never ate wood, destroyed anything in the barn with his cribbing, he just places his front teeth on an edge and sucks in, but we have had some that could eat up a wood stall, or eat the bark off trees, in just a very short while. But they didn't suck air.

Does the term cribbing refer to sucking air, or eating wood or both?
