muzzle suitable to ride in

[paddy555]

has anyone bought or made a muzzle suitable to ride in (or in my case long rein in) A bucket grazing muzzle is not suitable, he needs something lighter and without holes to get food in. This is to stop him eating vegetation. Grass reins won't work so I am looking for ideas and any tips if someone has tried this or even ideas of what hasn't worked. It could fit onto a bridle or headcollar, I can use either.

dinky ponies? all soft nylon and no central holes?

I use a full nose net. I bought it because he has a pollen allergy and it helps more than a half net when being ridden. But it has the added bonus of stopping him from snacking!

Thanks. I looked at this one which was the only full one I could find. Is this the sort you use? is it strong when stopping snacking? I am long reining on tracks through thick bracken and gorse which is the height of the horse's face. I wondered if mesh would be strong enough.

If you find a muzzle you like with a hole at the bottom you could always fill it in

My friends used a munch-n-done riding muzzle all summer, worked really well

It’s similar to that one. I can’t remember the exact make of mine but the mesh on mine is pretty tough, I don’t have gorse and bracken mind you but it has battled brambles. It isn’t the prettiest thing to look at unfortunately.

thank you. Muzzle now ordered from horseridingmuzzle. I'm sure my lad is going to be very grateful.

Nice horse BBP
