Don't hold me to this, but I think that means they chew on their stall or something.....

Scavs my man.

Spun Sugar goes for $4,500,000.

and I don't think I will hold you to it as I can't believe they would post the hip #, the selling price, and that the mares pregnant, followed by the fact she chews on her stall.

I'll wait for other answers

hope all is well

Scavs isn't far off. It is a horse who sucks wind, often grabbibg a hold of a webbibg or stall door in the process of doing so.

and in the process damage their teeth so that an old cribber like my horse can hardly bite off grass....and he damages stalls and pulls boards down in his paddock cribbing on them....fortunately he hasn't cribbed himself right into a colic surgery, but some do....

Cribber, means run, run very, very fast as far as you can from them. It is a habit they can pick up from being bored, or even from another horse. They will grab wood, or anything really, with their top teeth and suck wind into their throat. Cribbers are very hard to keep weight on, and it does horrible things to their teeth over time. I have a gelding that picked it up, when he was laid up recovering from a seamoid injury, and 22 yrs later, he still does it. His top teeth are completely worn down to the gum line. Years ago after retiring him from the track and making a rodeo barrel racing horse out of him, he would crib on the side of the horse trailer if you left him tied to long. To me the sound of a horse cribbing is the worst sound in the world!!
