Flexible Filly Grazing Muzzle

Additional Fitting Tips

With the horse’s head in the upright position it is OK if the muzzle lightly touches the lips. Horses spend most of their time with heads at ground level. Lower their head to check there is about a half inch of clearance when the horse is in grazing position.

If your horse is attempting to eat out of the sides, this generally means they are not able to get grass through the center hole.  The size of the center grazing hole needs to work with other variables such as the height and thickness of the grazing grass.  

If the problem persists, check the horse’s fit while in the grazing position.

a) Lower your halter and make sure your muzzle is not on the top hole, the more “leggy” the fins are the easier it is for them to try to eat out of the sides.  Raise the entire muzzle up several holes.  If this does not work you might need a smaller muzzle.

b) Make sure the fins between the front (or back) fin and the side (attached to the square ring) are evenly spaced.  If you have the fins neighboring the center front or center rear too close to the center one the horse will be able to eat out of the sides rather than the grazing hole.

The closer you fit the muzzle to your horses’ lips the less likely it is they will step on the muzzle and tear it.

Used Materials

The grazing muzzle is made from one of the most durable polymers on the planet.  It is fungal, mould and UV resistant.  It is safe, effective and durable.  There are no “off-gassing”  materials so they are safe near the nostrils.  Even if accidentally ingested the polymers pass USA food safety regulations.  The muzzle is ideal for slowing down speedy eaters, limiting grazing, and can help curb minor cribbing problems. The muzzle can also keep horses from chewing on leg wraps, wood, or blankets. It works extremely well with all automatic waterers and has UV protection which works much like sunscreen for those delicate noses.

Please note: Your horse’s safety is paramount. Safety breakpoints are in place to prevent the risk of injury to your horse while wearing the grazing muzzle and breakaway halter.

• 
  

  Discoloration, teeth marks/grazing hole wear caused by exuberant grazers or pasture mates.



• 
  

  Damage caused by a safety feature working resulting in a torn fin.

Grazing Hole Wear:

Most horses get an entire grazing season out of the muzzle, with some getting up to three seasons without showing wear. However, some horses may wear out the grazing hole sooner.

The longevity of the muzzle depends on how vigorously your horse grazes, the fit of the muzzle, the duration it’s worn each day, the pasture environment, and other variables.

If your horse is working overly hard to graze, the hole size may be too small for the grass they are trying to eat. Allowing the hole to enlarge slightly or cutting a larger hole can often solve this problem. *Please note that alterations to the muzzle affect the warranty*

One of the great features of this muzzle is that it does not harm the horse’s teeth or cause painful wear.
