  • Patent number: 7946255
    Abstract: An anti-cribbing collar for a horse. The collar includes an elongate rigid member defining a longitudinal axis. The collar includes at least one elongate flexible support member having a front edge and a rear edge and which defines a majority of the collar's circumferential length. The rigid member is positionable proximate a lower jaw depression and throat of the horse with its longitudinal axis extending in a generally front-to-back direction. The flexible support member extends laterally outwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis proximate an intermediate longitudinal location on the rigid member and the first end of the rigid member projects forwardly of the front edge of the flexible support member and the second end of the rigid member projects rearwardly of the rear edge of the flexible support member. A portion of the rigid member is positioned below a tensile loop defined by the collar.
