Best Friend Standard Grazing Muzzle

Description

Managing pasture intake for small equines is just as important as for full-sized horses – and miniature horses and small ponies face the same risks of laminitis, founder and obesity from New Zealand’s rich pasture grasses. The Best Friend Standard Grazing Muzzle provides a simple, effective solution that attaches to your pony’s existing halter in seconds.

Unlike the Deluxe model, the Standard Grazing Muzzle doesn’t include a built-in halter – instead, four adjustable Velcro straps loop over the noseband and chinstrap of any standard halter, making it easy to fit and remove without specialist equipment. The Velcro breakaway straps are designed to release if the muzzle becomes snagged, giving you the same safety margin as the larger models.

The Mini-mini size is specifically designed for miniature horses (under 8.5hh, Category A ponies) – a size that’s genuinely difficult to fit with most standard muzzles on the market. If you have a Category A miniature, this is the right choice. Also available in pony size.

The muzzle limits grazing without restricting drinking. The nylon/rubber construction resists the rot and mildew that NZ’s wet winters can cause, and the padded noseband reduces the risk of rubs during longer wear periods.
