Cribbing, otherwise known as crib biting or windsucking is where a horse bites onto a solid object (fence or gate) and sucks back air through the gullet. It is often learned when horses are exposed for long periods to stress, or isolation (kept alone in stables, or paddocked away from other horses). Scientifically, it is known as a stereotypical behaviour.

The American Quarter Horse Association is concerned about the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) electronic logging device (ELD) mandate, which went into effect on December 18, 2017. The rule limits the amount of time a commercial truck driver can drive and mandates a specific amount of off-duty/non-driving time, and requires the use of electronic logging devices to track the driving and non-driving times.  

Congress has extended the ELD exemption through December 7, 2018.

Below you will find information on AQHA's involvement regarding the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) electronic logging device (ELD) mandate and resources on how you can get involved.
