If they crib, that top board will get chewed up quickly, but then again, I have not found a good solution for that, just keep buying rough sawn 1x6's from the local sawmill. That seems like a shallow depth, good compaction around the post would help. We have some areas that you can't get down too deep, a few feet and hardpan, rock, or shale, makes it a pain to keep a gate post secure, unless you pour some concrete around it, frost heave is always a problem, every year, a lot of the fence posts have to be re-set, pack the hole with stones, to fill tha gap around the post from them leaning on it. The paddock with the electric line, stays straight for the most part, and they are not shy about going through the gate, but like Allan says, once they are spooked at something, they don't soon forget. You might try dry packing the posts with gravel mix, straight portland mixed with the soil or something cementitious, containing portland, it will tighten the soil around the post, but at that depth, around here, if frost were to get under the dry packed area, it will give it surface area to push on. Without the frost, should help keep em straight, couple shovels full of portland mixed with the soil, pack tightly, next rain, water em down yourself, will be tight.
