Equine stereotypies such as weaving, Crib-biting and box - walking are
frequently described as "stable vices" and veterinary interest has

These methods are, in many cases, ineffective [2], they may cause
distress or harm to the horse, and they address symptoms rather than
underlying causation.

Chapman Horse.

cannot clench more than they already do! They try to shoot the gun but the gun
is unloaded!

thoughts as it is of your body. A few wise words that could forevermore
change the way you use your aids.
