Flexible Filly Slow Feed Grazing Muzzle

Description

The Thinline Flexible Muzzle is a slow feeder horse muzzle that is unlike the typical heavy, hard, and "cage-like" apparatus. The muzzle is designed to be softer, lighter and less confining. Constructed of a pliable material that reduces the chances of the muzzle getting snagged, it is also soft on equine teeth and lips. The Muzzle is well-ventilated and safe, rated to break just before your leather turnout halter. The Flexible Filly Grazing Muzzle is our best selling muzzle.

Hole Size
The Flexible Filly has been recently changed to feature a smaller hole size of
2.5 cm.
This is considered a restricted size. You may enlarge the hole size to customize for your needs with the following recommendations:
Full Time Grazing in Muzzle - Recommended hole size 3.5 to 4 cm:
For full time grazing, it is recommended the hole be 3.5 to 4 cm wide. It is very important you increase the size of the standard hole if your horse will be wearing his muzzle the majority of the time as the 2.5 cm hole is too restrictive for horse to get minimum amount of food intake.
Highly Restricted Grazing in Muzzle - Recommended for insulin resistant horses prone to laminitis:
Horses with laminitis, insulin resistance or those on lush fields need careful management and a 3 cm or greater grazing hole is too large to effectively protect them, so the muzzle comes standard with a 2.5 cm size hole. Your horse should not wear the muzzle with this size hole 24/7. The horse should be brought into a stall or dry lot and fed some portion of his diet as hay that has been tested to be safe for your insulin resistant horse.
