As title!

Anyone got any bright ideas on how to keep a grazing mask on?

I've never seen anything like it, my mare has her rolling-to-remove-mask-technique perfected! I've tried with a fly mask over the top, I've tried with a fly mask underneath, I've tired tightening it, I've tried loosening it, nothing seems to work!

It's driving me mad!!
 
Sorry, no help here, I've tried all ways to get Dublin to keep his on, wrecked 4 field safe headcolars, lost two masks, I've put one on , by I've walked to gate it's off. So I lavish his white nose in factor 50 he don't like it but needs must..
 
Buy a Greenguard head collar, cut the bucket part off your muzzle, attach bucket to Greenguard head collar using baler twine. Do head collar up tight.

Trust me, I've been through it all.
 
Is it a bucket style one? If so, I kept Henry's on by putting a headcollar over the bucket and threading the head piece through the keepers on the padded bit that goes over the poll. Then I did the headcollar up as tight as it would go without putting pressure on the poll (so the nose piece of the headcollar was above the bucket). Henry went from getting his off three times a day to zero. For Chloe I cheated and threaded the headstrap of the muzzle through what should be the ear holes on her sweet itch hoody!
 
I had an extra large 'dog collar' made for mine which is buckled snug around her neck behind ears with a loop each side to fit the cheek straps of the muzzle through and another link at the top between her ears, this has stopped her pulling it off with her front legs :-)
