Has anyone used a muzzle like this?
I liked the look of it, it looks less “bucket” and claustrophobic than many.
Also the fact it attaches to a normal headcollar is a bonus. I have a fair walk to and from the field and always think the regular muzzles don’t feel quite safe!

Edited to say link didn’t paste!
It’s a Ekkia basket muzzle from Amazon
 
It looks like a not so good version of an easy breathe one (though it might be the pics they chose).

Sandstone, we're in tack room, wrong species ;)
 
I can't comment on the actual one but the photo of the horse with it, the muzzle is VERY tight on the horse so it won't look like that in real life. I would be interested in comments on it though as my horse needs muzzled in summer and i had to make holes in his because he was not getting it and would faour not eating over working for it. I like the larger middle slit on this one.

That’s what I thought. I came across it trying to find an easy breathe. Are they a US based company? My searches all come up from America and I want something quickly.

Sandstone, I was a bit confused for a minute 😂

I wonder if the attaching straps are long enough to adjust correctly?
I may well order and just return if not. I’ll let you know
 
The photo looks a but snug, and it's pretty low cut in terms of how far it comes up the face, I'd be worried that by the time you used the correct size it would be pretty easy to wriggle out of?
 
yup I didn't realise until I went looking, I was trying to remember the site I had seen them on that has a lot of american stuff (charlies products, I get stuck in my head with harrys horse! and I was wrong they have the best friend ones anyway)!
