Cribbing Query?

So.... my horses have never cribbed, gnawed their fence/paddock... noticed today sudden gnawing along the fencing😟 I know its hard at mo as hardly any grass... its been awful with the endless rainy days too, so they have been having plenty of extra food/hay.... I am trying to keep them in this winter paddock til end of March as their spring/summer fields are wet through but this is their usual routine so nothing different ( apart from the new horse being here-she has been here nearly a year)

The new TB horse next to them is young, 6 on her own a lot and cribbing all the time!!! Do you think they are mirroring her? I noticed Percy today actually doing it in front of me so I told him no! He did listen and walked away. But I noticed storm doing it too so know its both of them😟🐴

I have added some leccy fencing on the top line to prevent and ordered some spray but wondered if it is mirroring the other horse as never had this before?

Thoughts? ☺️🐴
