Tough 1 Easy Breathe Poly/Nylon Orange Horse Grazing Muzzle W/ Throat Snap Ring

As I have Connemara/TB's who cannot have free access to grass during the spring and summer months, a grazing muzzle allows them to at least walk around and eat limited amounts. The Tough 1 muzzle they have not yet been able to wear through in over a year of us. Plus with the large holes for the nostrils, there is less condensation inside the muzzle and in my mind I think should make the time wearing the muzzle more comfortable/less stressful.

So I am here to buy muzzle #2. Long story, but my trainer made modifications to the first one to include taping the velcro closed, and putting a second "throatlatch" out of twine higher up where one usually goes (as opposed to the one the halter comes with that buckles in front of the jowl). This worked great and my horse couldn't remove it! Then... well, she got it hung up and the breakaway features the trainer taped shut somehow failed. Who knew! The good news is, as she lifted a gate off its hinges and could've tried to run with it stuck to her face, the rubber tabs holding the nose onto the nylon gave way and the muzzle released off the gate. So props for additional safety features - we are going with that rather than a quality / stitching issue - in case you are as gullible as I was and tape the velcro on yours too. The muzzle ripping apart possibly saved her life (she is big and dumb and young, and can panic with the best of them).
