FAQ
GreenGuard muzzle sizing is based on your horse's nose circumference and bit size. See our muzzle sizing guide.
The GreenGuard muzzle is compatible with just about any halter you've ever tried. It's just a matter of finding the right connection points, keeping the muzzle from sliding, and using a breakaway safety halter.
Muzzle and tooth wear?
According to the National Equine Welfare Council's Grazing Muzzle Guidance, all grazing muzzles carry a risk of tooth wear. The NEWC recommends your horse get at least an annual check by an equine vet or dental specialist. We highly recommend cleaning your GreenGuard muzzle and checking your horse's teeth regularly when they are wearing a muzzle.
How much do muzzles restrict grass intake?
According to the National Equine Welfare Council's Grazing Muzzle Guidance, grazing muzzles can reduce grass intake by up to 80%. In practice, real grass restriction depends on a number of factors, the grazing muzzle, the horse that is wearing it, how tall the grass is and how practiced the horse is at grazing in a muzzle, among others. What is undeniable is that horses in grazing muzzles get more exercise than horses in stalls or in dry lots. A turned-out, muzzled horse gets less grass and more exercise, both of which contribute to weight management.
