Neck cradles v muzzle

[MoonRiver]

Trying to stop a horse from chewing at a foot wound that should have healed by now. She will eat any type of bandage/tape, pulls apart over reach boots etc. Wondering on the pros and cons of a grazing type muzzle or a neck cradle whilst she is stabled overnight. Or any other tips to stop an accomplished chewer. It will only need to be a week or two as it is soon close to being healed

We've got a plastic poultice boot (material one didn't work) for one of ours, he manages to keep that on where bandages/tape failed. Might help?

From experience I would use the neck cradle.

A bib is your best bet as they can still eat normally but not get hold of anything while wearing it.
