Re: Best accepted grazing muzzle

Chisamba, that is what I am trying to avoid.

She’s an easy keeper, could stand to lose some weight , I don’t work her hard enough and her insulin number is a bit high.

Luckily, her pasture is not huge or super lush, but there is still a fair amount of grass.

Best accepted grazing muzzle

My mares insulin level came back high enough for the vet to recommend a grazing muzzle!


Looking for recommendations for one that is easily accepted, very safe ( not able to get caught on fences, etc) still able to drink with it on.

This will not be an easy transition for her :(

Thanks
