Why do you need a horse grazing muzzle?

Preventing overgrazing, undesirable weight gain, laminitis, colic, and obesity are among the most serious diseases. Grazing and weight management are truly very important parts of prevention. Grazing throughout the day plays a critical role in equine digestive health since the constant presence of grass keeps stomach acids occupied and balanced.

With the ThinLine Flexible Grazing Muzzle, you give your horse all the great benefits with the turnout.

This ThinLine Flexible Grazing Muzzle is unlike the typical heavy, challenging, and “cage-like” apparatus of the past. We listened to horse owners just like you and designed this to be softer, lighter, and less confining. Constructed of a durable and pliable material that radically improves comfort, it is also soft on equine teeth and lips.

The Flexible Filly Grazing Muzzle is well-ventilated and safe, definitely in combination with the ThinLine Flexible Breakaway Halter.

What will you need?

We recommend you commit a dedicated well-fitting breakaway turnout halter to your muzzle.  It generally takes about 10 minutes to get everything perfect the first time you install a Flexible Filly Muzzle. Subsequent halters will take about 3 minutes.

How to attach your Flexible Filly Grazing Muzzle?

Use the enclosed paper ties or a string to discover the best holes to secure your muzzle to your halter.  The paper ties are a temporary tool allowing you to easily adjust the fit.

Two of the “fins” have a triangle cut out. These attach to the square (side) rings on your turnout halter. Three fins will connect to the noseband, one in the centre, the other two fall naturally to the sides of the centre.  Three fins will connect to the chin band; one in the centre, two naturally to the sides of the centre.

First, secure each triangle cut out fin with one of the enclosed low profile cable ties.  Do not wrap the fins around the halter, doing so may cause rubs.

When properly installed, the muzzle should be close to but not touching the nose of the horse. If the muzzle is touching the nose simply make the fins under the chin longer, this will lift the muzzle away from the nose.

Once you are satisfied you have the correct holes aligned to the halter please remove the paper ties or string and permanently secure the muzzle with the included cable ties.

 After finding the best fit for your horse, simply trim the excess fin material just above the top hole being used.  It is fine to wait a day or two to ensure your muzzle is a comfortable distance from your horse’s mouth before trimming. The “keeper” on the cable tie is on the outside of the muzzle and the excess is facing down and trimmed close.

If you have fitted the muzzle properly and the muzzle is the correct size it will work famously. If you find there is too much grazing room be sure your fins are snugly secured to your halter.  The fins should not move along the noseband. If it does simply pull the cable tie tighter.

What size to choose for the ThinLine Flexible Grazing Muzzle?

Our ThinLine Grazing Muzzle for Horses is available in 3 sizes:

Mini / Pony grazing muzzle
Cob / Horse grazing muzzle
Oversize / Draft horse grazing muzzle

If you want to be 100% sure the grazing muzzle fits your horse, you can do a few things before placing your order.

Make sure your halter fits well. The rule for this is about 2 fingers under the jawbone. Measure from the buckle on one side around the lips/mouth of your horse to the other buckle on the side of your halter.

Determine the size of your muzzle based on the closest average number from the table below:

Small;     Largest size: 45.5cm - Smallest size: 37 cm - Average size: 41 cm

Medium; Largest size: 50.50cm - Smallest size: 40.50 cm - Average size: 45.5 cm 

Large; Largest size: 55.50 cm - Smallest size: 44.50 cm - Average size: 50 cm
