Dare cribbing collar?

I have seen this collar advertised, and like you, have been trying to find someone who has had a positive experience with it before spending the $60. My horse recently required an expensive vet call after a bout of terror resulting from his miracle collar coming down over his eyes in his stall. He has a very muscular forehead so there is a big difference in the tension when he puts his head down--it becomes very loose. When his head is up it is very tight and pushes his ears back. Now his forelock is a falling out mess and he has sores on both sides of his face. I am anxious to try something without a brow band. Here is something I found that contains reviews of the collar to date. Based on this I think I will just order it tomorrow. If you aren't in a hurry I can let you know how it goes after I use it for a week or so. Click this link and scroll down to Schutz Bros. Good luck!

Dare Cribbing Collar

1

I've been sittin back and waiting to see what the other answers would be like (guessed right that not many people would answer the question asked).

I've been lucky, never had to use one before, but i have been at barns where people used and tried everything for cribbing horses, and at the end of the day they just stuck with their old ones (i'm guessing they're an older style b/c i'm talking bout from 10 years ago).

the new one tho, i will comment looks like it would work in theory better then the old ones due to it's different form/parts(from the little i know about cribbing and cribbing collars/how they work). i guess i'd suggest if you have the money try it, if not go with the "older" types of cribbing collars.

good luck.

edit: i was wanting to know if any one had used this kind before so i could see if they liked it or not, guess i'll have to wait and see if you get it so ya can share it with me if it works better or not. oh well.

I used to have a horse that cribs and I used this collar. It worked great for me. He never cribbed with it on. I like it better than the miracle collar because it doesn't cause the forelock to get rubbed off or that bulge on the horses forehead from having to make the miracle collar so tight. It doesn't need to be as tight as the miracle collar to work either. But it does need to be tight enough. I have also seen another horse use this collar and it worked for that horse as well. I just bought another tb that cribs and I am going to get this collar for him. Luckily he only cribs in the stall not much outside at all. So I am just going to use it when he is inside. Careful when it rains because the leather expands and can choke the horse if too tight.

I haven't used cribbing collars on my own horses but have seen them in use on other horses and ponies on the yard. I have to say that from what I've seen they don't seem to work very well. However, others on here may have had other experiences. As an alternative you could try the sprays and pastes that you spray or paint onto the places where she cribs. Get one specifically for horses from a tack shop or agricultural merchants. Or what about a lick or a salt block hanging in her stable? This will distract her and may either stop or reduce her cribbing. Or if she stresses, what about a herbal calmer? Most of the manufacturers of equine herbal supplements do one. If she cribs on the top edge of the wooden door or partition you might be able to persuade the barn owner to fit one of those metal guards that stable companies provide as an extra. It's a piece of steel that is bent over the top edge of the door so the horse can't eat the wood. It is quite dangerous for your horse to crib on wood as the splinters, if swallowed can cause colic and if they lodge in the mouth can cause pain and problems with the bit. She may be doing it on fence posts or gates in the pasture without anyone knowing. Has she had her teeth looked at lately? This could be part of the problem and it might be worth consulting a qualified Equine Dental Technician (horse dentist to you and me!)

Nope I have never seen it before. I would go for it though. I dont like the french collars. They seem to rub every horse who wears it.

Its not terribly expensive and you can always sell it on e-bay if your mare doesnt like it.

EDIT: Y'all read the question. Its about the collar, not about methods of preventing cribbing. Some horses do it no matter what. Those horses simply need a collar. We had one at my barn that just did it out of habit. A collar stopped her.

Honestly, it looks a little cheaply made to me. I recommend Miracle Collar and also French Cribbing collars.

I prefer the Miracle collar because it has more than one strap that helps it stay in place. Also, if you are having rub problems putting vaseline directly on the horse's skin before applying the collar, and also I've found that a little fleece or felt fabric around the strap(s) won't impair the collar from working.

Ur best advise would come from ur veterinarian. I have found the best collar is no collar. But, if u feel one is needed, check with ur vet and keep an eye on ur horse.

Sometimes a change of stall or paddock might cure any anxiety or need the horse has to crib. Also, extra hay or hay spread out over a longer period of the day may improve the situation.

Good luck....

the dare cribbing collar is not worth it! it is not a good collar! i have a horse that cribs and i used that collar and it doesn't work. i recomend the miracle collar. it works great!! my horse hasn't cribbed since!
