Tough-1 Easy Breathe Easy Grazing Horse Muzzle, Black

One of our mares deals with chronic laminitis in the warmer months, which unfortunately results in her being restricted to the dirt lot for 3-4 months out of the year. We decided to give this muzzle a try due to the excellent reviews. Our mare is very sassy, so we were concerned that she would not tolerate it, but she was out in pasture and acclimated within 10 minutes. The muzzle is very well made and has a lot of adjustments to make it a great fit. It is easy to put on and our girl seems extremely comfortable in it. It is wonderful to see her back out in pasture with her sister and enjoying controlled amounts of grass. Would highly recommend this product!

We purchased this on the recommendation of my daughter, a Veterinarian. Our mare foundered and every year we struggle with managing her. This grazing muzzle is a relief. She took a few days of supervised grazing, a few hours at a time, to acclimate to it, and we watched for any signs of soreness. The grass here is drying up and is less of a problem now but we are still being cautious. The muzzle gives her plenty of breathing room, she can drink with it and actually played in the pond with the others. We do NOT leave it on all the time. Good purchase.

Our mini is a houdini. always getting out of his blankets and fly masks so I wasn't sure a grazing muzzle would work, but... after one day he learned to eat in it and it stays on him! It hasn't rubbed hair off anywhere on his face and he's been in it up to 12 hours a couple of days. I definitely would recommend this for anyone turning a fat mini out with their large horses.

I LIKE the velcro on the top for breakaway safety! Get it adjusted to fit properly & then just put on & off over the ears & latch/unlatch with the snap at the throatlatch. (like many flat halters are). Allows my mares to do some grazing but over indulge. Doesn't work well with hay, but that is ok - I just need to keep them out of the sugar of the pastures.

Used for 4 months last year and it worked great. Brought it out this year and within two weeks of using it 3 nights/week the grazing hole broke and is getting bigger. I guess for $35 it can be purchased every year.

Great product! Only lasts about a year and a half before the hole gets bigger and breaks, but for the price, I’ll just keep buying.

I've read some of the reviews on here and it seems some people don't know how to put this on like a halter. The velcro is over the poll and, once adjusted, never needs to be opened- it is a safety release. I use these muzzles exclusively (even after trying and not liking extremely expensive brands like green guard and still having rubs from regular halters). The halter on this muzzle is simple, once adjusted, to slide over the ears and snap below the jaw. Sized right, it is hard to remove, though I use a little duct tape on the top of the velcro to keep my horses and pony from rubbing them open. The basket fits beautifully and tends to run large, so be careful there, but the muzzle normally lasts I've read some of the reviews on here and it seems some people don't know how to put this on like a halter.

The only other issue I have encountered in 6 years of using this muzzle on 6 horses and one pony is that my mare figured out how to hook the muzzle on the round pen and break the rubber to making the muzzle useless. My fault. … more

It works great and was a very reasonable price. My horse kept it on.

I purchased this muzzle because we were moving from a farm that had little grass to one with huge fields. I wanted to protect my horse and ease him into this “all you can eat buffet.” I put the muzzle on him and watched for a few minutes, suspecting he might get frustrated, but knowing he’d figure it out since the hole on the bottom is quite large. I returned 20 minutes later and the muzzle itself had stayed on, but was torn clean through the rubber tabs where the nosepiece connected to the halter portion. I have no idea how he managed to do this, and there wasn’t anything in the field he could’ve gotten hung up on. I had to rush out and purchase a new, different brand and this one sits completely I purchased this muzzle because we were moving from a farm that had little grass to one with huge fields.

I’ve been using the tough-1 grazing muzzles for a few years on my mule. I use the large horse size on her about 12 hr. a day while she's on pasture. It appears to be comfortable no rub spots unlike other grazing muzzles I’ve used. I duct tape the Velcro closure over the poll as dirt and grass gets caught in it and doesn’t stay secure. The feeding opening could be a little smaller but no laminitis issues since I’ve been using the muzzle. I need to replace them every few months though as the feed opening enlarges due to wear.
