How to tie on the GnawBuddy. 

Key Features about the GnawBuddy

Stress
Relief

Chewing on the GnawBuddy is a way to release stress.

It suppresses the secretion of plasma stress hormones and catecholamines (for example adrenalin & dopamin).

We must ask us why does the horse want to chew?

What is the reason behind this behavior and what can we do to help the horse?

Health
Benefits

Activation of chewing during stressful situations has been shown to reduce the number of stomach ulcers and their duration. Chewing on the GnawBuddy also:

  • Preserves spatial reasoning
  • Facilitates the rapid recovery of hippocampal LTP
  • Reduces blood pressure
  • Reduces heart rate
  • Reduces the incidence of arrhythmia. 

Entertainment
Value 

If a horse is biting becasuse it is bored whilst tied – why is it bored?

When horses can’t perform natural behaviours, they can easily become frustrated. Mental enrichment with the GnawBuddy during tie-up sessions, can help prevent unwanted habbits. This is acheived by creating entertainment, in what can be a very boring or stressful time for horses.

Horses need mental stimulation, especially when they aren’t able to be frequently exercised or exposed to varied and intresting environments. It can be extremely boring if they are simply stabled or just turned out in smaller paddocks.

Horses often love the GnawBuddy! When tied up, they can safely engage their natural chewing instincts, reducing boredom and restlessness. It is a positive contribution towards a horse’s physical and mental needs.
