Thanks for that..... didn't realise when I bought it (2nd hand) that they were different :( I'm guessing they must work for some though as I used to have one for a laminitic Sect A and that worked a treat. I just don't remember it being flat at the chin end though 😕

Because it's not like the old one I had a number of years ago and it looks like the pony would be able to eat out the back of it.

Have just bought an old style gg muzzle and it is flat at the back part (by the chin). Is this normal or should I heat it to bend it up? TIA :0)

Has anyone had any good experiences buying from dealers in the East of England. I know of a few names but I don't know if they're reputable. We have just had to have our horse put down due to inoperable kissing spine and hind suspensory damage so want to try to avoid as much further heartache...

Hiya My mare had the same injury plus suspensory damage and cartilage damage. She was operated on......this was last May. I'm afraid I can't remember exactly how long recovery took, but I was riding her by about Sept/October time. This was just hacking and initially just in walk and then...

I have a 16.2hh 9yo TB gelding who has been diagnosed with grade 4 ulcers for the 2nd time this year :( Initially we thought his first bowt was due to being boxed rested following injury. Now, we are thinking it's more stressed related. He has fully recovered from his injury and was back in...
