Harmany Grazing Muzzle- Horse

First, I did not purchase this muzzle from Amazon but another dealer. The ability to form fit to the horse's muzzle is easy and allows whatever changes are needed. I do want to share that the open corners allowed my gelding to use the muzzle as a shovel. He would tilt his head and drag the muzzle through the grass. End result was a lot of dirt in the muzzle - not something I would want him to deal with for hours out in the pasture. He is smarter than he needs to be, LOL, so hopefully not many others will have this problem.

Sadly, I don't think I can return the item because my horse did wear it for a few hours. But the horse can bend the back and the front allowing them to graze more than they should out of the corner. I wish I'd known this before spending so much money.

I probably just could not figure out how to use it, but the velcro rubbed raw spots on my boy's mouth. He also managed to get the plastic in his mouth. I did not see instructions. I threw it away.

Never fit right. My horse broke it after 1 month. Expensive for something that doesn’t hold up.

This is the best invention ever. It does not rub and they don't get hot. It is so much better than the standard muzzle!!

Incredibly difficult to shape. Followed the directions to the letter and I'm a coordinated, crafty person, and yet the grazing muzzle was almost ruined - doing exactly what the directions said! Finally got the material shaped properly but my horse can eat grass through the gaps between the sides no matter how tight I make the halter. Rubbed her lips, nose and jaw. Opening the holes the horse is supposed to graze through was also difficult and frustrating. Either they made sharp edges or the muzzle melted and the pieces I wanted to remain in bent and sagged. The pattern of the grazing holes makes it hard for the horse to graze in any kind of longer grass and once you have removed the material, you cannot adjust or add material back. The substance the muzzles are made from is incredibly fussy. They tell you not to over heat it but it's extremely difficult to get the area malleable that is needed without some material remaining stiff and other areas getting too hot. Steam condensation causes a rough pattern on the muzzle that rubs, so a heat gun is a must. Even though I persisted and got the muzzle in the correct shape, it was too uncomfortable for my horse and too easily negated once she figured out how to push it aside. After a week I gave up on it and felt it was a complete waste of money.

Does not rub!! You can choose the level of grass you want your horse to get. I tried every other product out there and this is the best. Make sure you follow the directions. I gave up and then tried a second time and boy am I ever glad I did. Solved all my grazing muzzle problems. I covered the velcro attachments with no rub fabric so they wouldn't rub. My horse likes this mask the best. I highly recommend it

My horse DESTROYS muzzles - I have yet to find one he can't break off or ruin. I ordered this hoping it would be the answer, but found bending the plastic was so time consuming and I couldn't get it to bend properly. I didn't even bother trying to use it. For the money, it's just not worth it. You shouldn't have to shape your own muzzle for $85.
