The Ultimate Grazing Muzzle has been designed to help restrict grass intake for horses and ponies who need help with managing weight. Controlling a horses diet is a common issue horse owners come across when it comes to spring and summer months. Studies have shown that horses using a grazing muzzle will consume 50-86% less grass than those without. The Ultimate Muzzle has been made higher at the front to prevent the horse from removing it. The leather headpiece can have extra holes punched in if necessary to make sure the muzzle fits comfortably, with no clips the muzzle minimises the chance of been caught in the field. If your pony / horse is not used to wearing a grazing muzzle, it is advisable to introduce it slowly while they learn to eat with it on. Try putting a little hay or grass through the mouth hole to check the chin is not rubbing at the back. The cheek pieces should be as close to vertical as possible. If they are pulling back at an angle, the muzzle is too tight. *Please note that grazing muzzles should not be worn 24hours a day. When the horse is not wearing the grazing muzzle they should be in the stable with forage provided or in a paddock with non or very little grass.

FAQ’s
Which size do I need?
Please look at the sizing guide and the how to fit video to ensure you select the correct size.
It looks huge, is this right?
Yes! The height of the muzzle should prevent the horse or pony getting it under their chin and your friend will appreciate the extra room. If the muzzle is loose enough it should not rub.
The head strap is too long
As the head strap is made from leather it is easy to punch further holes if required to make the strap more adjustable.
