In this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “ABC's of Horses” equestrian podcast, Christy Wood discusses common horse vices such as cribbing, weaving, pawing, pacing, and chewing. These behaviors can signal underlying issues like boredom, separation anxiety, excess energy, or dietary imbalances.
Christy explains how these habits develop, why they matter for a horse’s physical and mental health, and what horse owners can do to manage and prevent them. The conversation emphasizes the importance of observation, honest horse management, proper nutrition, and providing adequate socialization and stimulation.
Listeners will gain practical insights into recognizing abnormal behaviors early and creating healthier environments that support equine well-being and long-term soundness.
