Cribbing
Okay, I have a horse who would crib when she was in her stall. We tried getting her to stop by throwing pebbles at her when she did but she just kept doing it. So instead of saying "Ana!" when she did it the owner of these horses put wire mesh around the inside of her pen so she couldn't put her nose through the bars. Make sure that there are no sharp ends on the wire that have the slightest possibility of injuring your horse. He also took out her feed bucket that was attached to the wall of her pen and replaced it with a bucket he just placed on the ground so that when she tried to bite the bucket to crib, it would just come up when she pulled her head back. When we let her out she would immediately go to the fence and crib there but we chased her away from the fence and she left it alone. You will have to watch your horse for this and immediately chase him away from the fence when you let him out. I haven't seen Ana crib since then.
