Full muzzle nose net?

[Equi]

Does it exist? Poor boy gets twitchy when the pollen counts are high but appears to only be when ridden, so makes spring time riding a bit blah because I don’t want to be riding him when he can’t understand I’m not the one causing his twitch so we do a lot of walking as it tends to only happen in trot or canter. I’m unsure if it’s pollen actually causing it, uv light or the hair pinching the nerve (do they shed muzzle hairs? Maybe they do and it regrowing is causing him to twitch..I’m going to keep an eye this year and see when it stops, and it does completely 100% stop eventually)


Anywho, he is 90% better with a nose net but it doesn’t actually cover much cause his muzzle is so broad lol so I’m looking something wider or maybe even bespoke? I tried a thinner le mieux one it was rubbish and too small also.

I have the Busse nose net for my mare & it’s been fab. The darts in it are a bit more deep & it really fits around the muzzle as opposed to just sitting on it. Could be worth a try?

It’s this one!

I have one of these for mine but can’t for the life of me find it for sale anywhere for you. It looks ugly on, but seemed to help a lot. I ride bitless though, not sure how it would fit over a bit.

Oooh I didn’t think it would actually exist. Very interesting.

The original Equilibrium ones are the best. Can you buy the biggest size and then shorten the length?

Is your mare a fine head like the picture though?

They look to be the same material the le mieux one is made of and after one time wet it was totally misshapen for life.

Search Aerborn Full Nose Net on eBay. I have one and it works well other than I had to cut a small section out of the bottom because he seems to spit out a small amount of chewed carrot every time I ride and having that bouncing around his nose was almost as bad as not having a net at all....
I also tried the Equilibrium one and found it useless - a puff of wind lifted it away from the nose. I have 'half' net for longer rides but it's made of stiff netting and works well.

No, she has a very chunky head, takes full or x-full bridles / head collars.

Excellent. I’ll def look at getting one of those, the shape and material look to be what I’m after.

Got it! Will see if it’s at all adjustable to ride in. I’d not we may play with riding in a head collar

That’s two nose nets gotten, thanks so much everyone I’ll let you know how we get on.

For those interested, the busse nose net has been fabulous I have the full areborn muzzle one also but it hasn’t been required

Thanks all!
