Introduction: Why "Stable Vices" Aren’t Just Bad Habits
Stable vices. The phrase alone can make even the most zen horse owner break into a cold sweat. Whether your horse is weaving like a disco dancer, cribbing like a woodchuck, or stall walking enough to rack up 10,000 steps before breakfast, you’re not alone. I’ve seen just about every “naughty” behavior in the book—and I assure you, these quirks are almost never just your horse misbehaving for the fun of it.
So why do clever horses develop these repeat performances? The answer is part equine science, part nutrition, and part “I’m bored and need more snacks.” At NEIGHKED, we’ve put on our lab coats (and, occasionally, mud boots) to create a supplement—BUCK OFF—designed to nip stable vices in the bud by addressing their real causes: stress, anxiety, dietary gaps, and boredom.
Ready to transform your stable from stress central to zen den? Let’s trot through the science, stories, and solutions for stable vices—plus, how a targeted horse calmer can change everything.
1. Stable Vices: The Secret Language of Stress
Let’s clear something up right away: stable vices are not your horse’s way of plotting world domination (as much as your pony may look like a Bond villain mid-crib). Behaviors like weaving, cribbing, stall walking, and fence-kicking are your horse’s way of saying, “Help! Something’s not right.”
Why Do Horses Develop Stable Vices?
- Stress and anxiety: Changes in daily routine, lack of turnout, or missing herd mates can make horses as jumpy as a double espresso.
- Nutritional imbalances: Deficiencies vitamins, or amino acids can turn calm horses into anxious wiggle machines.
- Boredom: Horses are built for movement, not Netflix marathons in a 12x12 box.
Understanding these root causes is the first step to calmer days and quieter nights for both you and your equine bestie.
2. The Science of a Truly Calming Horse Supplement
Not all horse calmers are created equal. At NEIGHKED, we packed Buck Off with a full parade of calming nutrients, each backed by real research.
What’s Inside Buck Off?
- Ashwagandha: is proven to have anti-stress, antioxidant, adaptogenic, and beneficial endocrinological activities.
- L-Theaninet: Promote calm without making your horse feel like a tranquilized sofa cushion.

- Lemon Balm: Known for its useful effects on anxiety, helping to calm horses naturally.
3. The Holistic Approach: Calm Starts with Management
Supplements are fantastic, but they’re not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Here’s how to set your horse up for success:
- Check routines: Horses crave consistency. Small changes in turn-out or feeding can make a big difference.
- Maximize movement: Horses are desiged to live outside, where they can constantly move around. The more time outside, the less time spent practicing their circus acts.
- Enrich the environment: Toys, foraging opportunities, and social time can work wonders.
- Feed Buck Off daily: Consistency is key for stable behavior improvements.
Track your horse’s behaviors in a journal—the “before” and “after” can be astonishing!
