CTRE. 1.2: Know and Implement PATH INTL Standards and their interpretation regarding the
use of safety equipment and adaptive equipment
D

Adaptive equipment must be safe and in good repair (*P14) well fitting and considerate of the
conformation of the horse (P15). Surcingle trees if they are fixed should be fitted to each horse
in- dividually much like a traditional saddle. Surcingles with flexible trees or soft webbing should
U


not cause stress points or soreness for the horse.
Adaptive saddles should be screened, critically assessed for safety and assessed for the impact
on the horse both with and without additional weight of the participant (P2). Conformation of the
ST




horse to be used with adaptive tack should be taken into account when choosing equipment that
may put additional stress on the horse. Assessment of the equipment should be done prior to
the adaptive equipment being used with a participant.

CTRE 3.4: Identify stable vices, including cribbing, weaving, biting, kicking, and wood chewing
A stable vice is an abnormal behavior by a horse or pony. Vices are considered unhealthy
behaviors and are usually caused by boredom, unhappiness, or nervousness.
D

Cribbing
When a horse or pony grabs a solid object such as a fence or stall door with his teeth, arches
his neck and swallows in a gulp of air.
U


Sucking in a lot of air can cause colic (severe stomach discomfort) and cribbing is destructive to
property.
ST




Most people believe endorphins are released during this behavior. These endorphins give the
horse a feeling of pleasure. Horse can become addicted to this good feeling and will keep doing
it whenever they are bored. Some people believe digestive issues may also cause a horse to
crib because cribbing produces extra saliva (spit) which can help with an upset stomach.

Cribbing is not a curable behavior, although you can help to stop a horse from cribbing with a
cribbing strap. A crib strap goes around a horse's throat and keeps them from being able to
suck in a big gulp of air. The strap should be taken off the horse for at least an hour a day in
order to air out the neck.
