Has anyone had success with the wire muzzles that attach to the halter to prevent cribbing or woodchewing?

You have to be careful there is nothing he can get it caught on, such as screw-eyes. I've had better luck with the miracle collar, but it will rub different horses in different spots. Usually I wrap the spots that rub and they don't crib with it.

We have had a couple of chronic cribbers and have found the Miracle Collar to be the safest and most effective.

I have had good success with the muzzle (wire basket) on my stall resting horse. The fleece wears out but I put vet wrap around it so it wouldn't rub her nose. If you can sew, you can buy fleece material at a fabric store and repair it when it wears out. I recommend getting a muzzle that is sized rather than one size fits all so that it fits the horse's head better. Make sure your horse can't get caught on anything. Most importantly, use a break away halter with it in case your horse does get hung on something.
Good Luck!
