Where there's a will....

The new counters are 3cm. The old ones were 2cm with a doubled edge and osb backer.

The height difference made the cooktop sit on the oven about 5/16" proud of the counters.

Fortunately, the oven was sitting on 3/8" ply to lift it above the cabinet front lip.

Multi tool to rough cut the front lip, smoothed up with the hand plane. Cutoff will get tacked on to the top, filled and painted.
 
I’ve found that mine chew more when confined like today. 40 mph wind here cold & wet. My vet says some is lack of fiber but they get plenty. I’m sure you know this

Agreed, It seems boredom is a factor as well as wood species.

Why not add a sacrificial chew board? Something easier to replace?
Probably a pretty decent idea, but aesthetics are a concern, as well as ensuring they would chew on the sacrificial board. There doesnt seem to be a very logical reason for them chewing.

I think the idea here is for them to leave the door alone and chew on the rest of the stall. Perhaps a sacrificial board somewhere in the stall is something to consider.
 
Nobody knows for sure why horses chew wood like that. They'll also chew plastic buckets, etc.

Boredom, stress, loneliness, plenty of ideas why. For whatever reason, it's a genetic predisposition.

Ours can wander through the woods browsing or munch in the pasture or get some hay in a stall, they're always free to come and go.

I've seen other animals chew as well, specifically goats and alpacas. Not nearly as bad as horses, but they definitely mess up the stall walls a bit too.
