There are a couple things you can try 
You can get a "muzzle" called a cribbing muzzle which will prevent cribbing while still allowing him to drink and eat.
There's also a new product on the market that the makers guarantee...but I've never tried it so can't say for sure that it would work or not! However, it's a feed supplement for wood chewing which might help with at least part of the problem. Let's see...where's my Jeffer's catalog...ah..here it is. The product is called Quitt and is made by Farnam. Says guaranteed results within 7 days.
Beyond that, try to limit the things he can crib on and reasons to crib. Make sure he has plenty of hay, room to roam, regular exercise, etc. Cover exposed wood with wire or metal flashing. Run electric wire inside fencing that is tempting to him. And spend as much time with him as you can! Good luck - ----- PH Cody HorseHobbyist Site Coordinator
