I've posted before about not being able to get a muzzle to stay on Bilbo as he scrapes it off on the tree. I've just tried my 3rd brand of muzzle on him to see if it makes any difference and it was off within 5 minutes. I have concluded that he can't work out how to eat any grass through the muzzle and after trying for a while he decides it has to come off (pretty logical really!).
I really would like him to be able to use one as I've had him ACTH tested and it came out at 37.9 which the vet said is 'borderline' - and which I've taken as a warning to get some weight off him pronto.
Any tips on how to teach him to be able to eat with the muzzle on please? My other horses who have needed muzzles just seemed to pick it up themselves after I poked a few grass stalks through the holes for them.
