Ask your QuestionWhat is cribbing for an electric fence and how is it prevented or/and fixed?
Asked by Patrick on 16th Nov 2020"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."
