It also works beautifully with automatic waterers, making it a practical solution for everyday turnout.</p> <p>Please note: this item includes the <strong>muzzle only—headcollar not included</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Features:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Gentle on skin, teeth and lips</li> <li>Fungal, mould and UV-resistant</li> <li>Soft, light and safe</li> <li>Works well with drinkers and water troughs</li> <li>Adjustable hole size to meet the grazing needs of all horses</li> <li>Flexible and lightweight</li> <li>Durable material</li> <li>Available in three sizes to accomodate all horses and ponies</li> </ul> <p><strong>Grazing Hole Sizes:</strong></p> <p>Vet recommendations for safe grazing in a muzzle are a 3.5 to 4 cm grazing hole for 24/7, full time grazing.

The paper ties are a temporary tool allowing you to easily adjust the fit.</li> <li>Two of the “fins” have a triangle cut out. These attach to the square (side) rings on your turnout halter. Three fins will connect to the noseband, one in the centre, the other two fall naturally to the sides of the centre. Three fins will connect to the chin band; one in the centre, two naturally to the sides of the centre.</li> <li>First, secure each triangle cut out fin with one of the enclosed low profile cable ties. Do not wrap the fins around the halter, doing so may cause rubs.</li> <li>When properly installed, the muzzle should be close to but not touching the nose of the horse. If the muzzle is touching the nose simply make the fins under the chin longer, this will lift the muzzle away from the nose.</li> <li>Once you are satisfied you have the correct holes aligned to the halter please remove the paper ties or string and permanently secure the muzzle with the included cable ties.</li> <li>After finding the best fit for your horse, simply trim the excess fin material just above the top hole being used. It is fine to wait a day or two to ensure your muzzle is a comfortable distance from your horse’s mouth before trimming. The “keeper” on the cable tie is on the outside of the muzzle and the excess is facing down and trimmed close.</li> <li>If you find there is too much grazing room be sure your fins are snugly secured to your halter. The fins should not move along the noseband. If it does simply pull the cable tie tighter.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Care Guide:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Place the grazing muzzle in a net washing bag and wash on cold water with detergent and a teaspoon of bleach</li> <li>For a more extended clean, stick it in a bucket with dish soap and a cap full of bleach</li> </ul>
