#3 Best Friend Grazemore Grazing Mask
The Grazemore by Best Friend is a more classic model grazing muzzle. Designed with nylon strap makes it simple and solid. The soft rubber bottom provides sufficient protection for the teeth and the opening at the nostrils provides ample ventilation. A big plus of this grazing muzzle, in contrast to other similar grazing muzzles, is the color of the material. The silver-colored nylon reflects sunlight, which means that the grazing muzzle heats up less than a black one. This is a big advantage because grazing muzzles are often worn in the hot summer months. The opening of this grazing muzzle is somewhat mild with a relatively larger square opening.
Application in brief:
Suitable as a strict grazing muzzle for metabolic problems? No, unfortunately, we recommend a stricter grazing muzzle for this.
Suitable for 24/7 grazing? Yes, but do pay close attention.
Suitable for eating loose hay? Yes, your horse has to learn it.
Airy and ventilating? Yes
#4 AS the Pferd in Can Grazing Mask
This fine grazing muzzle from the German brand AS das Pferd is also one of our top products. At first glance it looks a bit clumsy, but the fact that it is made of leather makes it very comfortable for the horse. During the first period that the grazing muzzle is slowly built up and 'broken in', the leather forms itself completely to the horse's head. After this it is just like your favorite pair of shoes. This grazing muzzle can also be expanded with various accessories and insert plates so that the grass intake can be varied. This makes it possible to use a stricter diet insert plate in the spring during the risky period and later in the season the normal insert plate again.
Application in brief:
Suitable as a strict grazing muzzle for metabolic problems? Yes, in combination with a diet insert plate.
Suitable for 24/7 grazing? Preferably not, because of the design of the bottom
Suitable for eating loose hay? No, unfortunately not.
Airy and ventilating? Yes
