Crib-biting and wind-sucking are different varieties of the same vice, which are learned chiefly by young horses. In each case the horse swallows air.... A "wind-sucker" achieves the same end [as a crib-biter], but it does not require a resting-place for the teeth. Air is swallowed by firmly closing the mouth, arching the neck, and gulping down air.... Accompanying each swallowing effort there is usually a distinct grunt. 4, record 1, English, - wind%2Dsucking

Se le llama [...] aerofagia, cuando el caballo se agarra con sus dientes sobre una superficie horizontal, flecta su cabeza y cuello, tira hacia atrás y hace un ronquido como si tragara aire. […] La causa de este vicio es, principalmente, el estrés y el aburrimiento, no obstante hay una predisposición genética. El caballo realiza esto pues se provoca una liberación de endorfinas, las cuales son substancias que provocan sensación de bienestar. 2, record 1, Spanish, - aerofagia

Le tic est un vice au cours duquel le pharynx est dilaté par la contraction des muscles antérieurs du cou. De l'air est avalé avec un bruit caractéristique. [...] Il y a différentes formes de tic. Dans le tic à l'appui, forme la plus fréquente, l'animal appuie ses dents sur un objet à sa portée, tel que le bord de sa mangeoire, le bas-flanc, la corde du licol, etc. Avec appui des dents, l'animal contracte les muscles de la partie antérieure de l'encolure, ce qui abaisse le larynx et la base de la langue et dilate le pharynx. Dans la plupart des cas, cette ouverture du pharynx est à l'origine du bruit caractéristique.

Crib-biting and wind-sucking are different varieties of the same vice, which are learned chiefly by young horses. In each case the horse swallows air. A 'crib-biter' effects this by grasping the edge of the manger or some other convenient fixture with the incisor teeth; it then raises the floor of the mouth; the soft palate is forced open; a swallowing movement occurs; and a gulp of air is passed down the gullet into the stomach. A 'wind-sucker' achieves the same end, but it does not require a resting-place for the teeth. ... Some horses which have been crib-biters learn to wind-suck when remedial measures are taken, and there are some wind-suckers which learn to crib-bite. 2, record 5, English, - crib
