Has anyone used one or heard of anyone that has? They are pricey and would like to hear some 1st hand experiences before I think about ordering one. We have a confirmed cribber, no collar, spray, has ever eliminated the vice. He’s ruining his teeth and cannot gain weight.
I have a guy who was a really bad cribber, when I got him off the track he barely had any front teeth. After some adjustments to his lifestyle, diet and a good cribbing collar he doesn’t do it at all.
I don’t like the idea of electro shocking my horse lol
He wears one of the simple leather ones
Looks like they ripped off the design of the Dare collar and added a shocking mechanism. Not cool in my book.
FYI, the Dare collar works wonderfully for my confirmed cribber. The same horse that, despite living outside, would crib on trees (along with the fence, but that has a strand of hot wire running along the top to keep horses from leaning on it). Once the electric fence was turned on, he left that alone.
I do not like the idea of a horse wearing something 24/7 that can deliver a shock. What happens if it malfunctions and the poor horse can’t get away from the thing strapped around his neck, constantly shocking him?
Here’s the link to a great thread discussing the Dare collar, among others: http://www.chronofhorse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=293883&highlight=dare
Bumping this old thread to see if any one has used this or is currently using one and is having success with it.
I used one for my cribber. Thought it was great because it doesn’t need to be tight.
It doesn’t have a battery and can’t malfunction in a way where it would be “constantly shocking the horse” like the poster above is concerned about. It only shocks (and CAN only shock) when the neck is flexed and the collar is compressed. The action of compressing the collar creates one shock and it won’t shock again until it’s uncompressed and recompressed. Kind of like one of those doodads for lighting Bunsen burners.
Before you order off the AUS site, shoot them an email about their US distributor. I bought quite awhile ago, so things might have changed, but they weren’t real happy I’d purchased direct after the package was lost. I couldn’t find anything available in the US and the site let me order

I got one recently (last couple months) & it worked super well for my cribber to start with, and then he started to disregard it. Like Simkie said, it just shocks once & my guy has decided that its no longer scary & does not care about it anymore. I was 100% on board with it to start with, but not that he does not care any longer, its working the same as others.
I think its worth a try tho, it worked super well until he figured out it didn’t actually hurt & would stop.

It works well. The one I had 15 or so years ago was more like a clicker type apparatus not an electric battery type shock. To me it is no worse then people cranking those Miracle Collars arcoss the forhead so tight it leaves a huge dent and rubs them raw
