New muzzle!

Noma Grazing Muzzle Mallow New

Born out of research and reinvention, our ingenious grazing muzzle limits excessive grazing while allowing the horse to drink and breathe easily. Compatible with most standard headcollars, it has strong built-in adjustable fasteners to fit any size and shape. The placement of the eating hole is...

I think it looks interesting.
I like one to attach to a head collar rather than a stand alone as my pony always removes them within seconds.
Maybe chunkier than my FF I currently use. So will need slightly longer grass.
Looks fairly airy. Nicer price. I may give one a try.

Ooooooh thank you for posting this

 

[FieldOrnaments]

My horse isn't thanking you though

Interesting but only showing in Pony and Cob sizes.

Looks interesting, only in pony and cob though and looks like it sits low on the nose, if it’s low my mare will just pull the noseband down and have it hanging under her chin but she’s very good at getting out of muzzles (even the vets were impressed )

 

[Chonkers]

I was thinking about getting one of these also, the velcro on my current one needs replacing every year which is getting a bit annoying.

Mine would push it to one side and eat out of those big side holes, I think. It doesn't look very deep.

If people start buying multiple matchy matchy muzzles I will lose it

Yes I do have to make an adaptation! We have an upside down Y of baler twine that attaches both sides of the noseband and up between his ears, otherwise as soon as i take the rope off he does a speed sprint with the tront on the muzzle on the floor and flips it over his nose and proceeds to graze happily

Maybe, One of mine did that with his FF muzzel but he didnt need severe restricion so i figured it was still doing the job (for him)

Humbug... They come in black.

It would be nice to see the size and shape of the hole. It doesn't look at adjustable as the Thinline - although I have to say that it drove me mad trying to fit that as there are so many options.

 

[holeymoley]

I would like to know if it's hard or flexible plastic...

 

[poiuytrewq]

Same to both above!
No photos of the hole, no where near as adjustable but I feel like my current FF has an always a bit off and I’m thinking more as an alternate rather than to replace. I am very happy with the Flexible fillies, thy are just so ££ and fiddly I find.

I hope they will be stocked locally to go look at one.

The ff puts me off price-wise. They were absolutely worth it when they came out but the quality has really dropped to the point I'm having to replace annually which I suppose isn't that big an expense, but I still have his very first one which is going strong! I cut the hole in it bigger initially so only use it in colder months or it would still be in use.

I think the only place I'll see them is at big shows. Or maybe I'll just take a punt and order! They only do pony & cob sizes too, my native x cob has quite a chubby schnoz and usually takes a full size for comfort.

If you want an attaching type, have a look at LiteBite, it’s less chunky and more flexible than lemieux looks to be, and has lasted well with one of my mares
If going for ‘standalone’, fit a head collar first, then wind the muzzle headpiece through the crown of the head collar. Also, always go for the largest size you can, so there’s lots of height up the face (less able to drag down), and plenty of room / air flow. Definitely started growing again….

Oh really, I’m glad you said that. I still have my original (one leaf missing but does the job) and one that I bought very early on second hand (bigger hole made) and they have lasted so well. They are too expensive to buy if they are no longer as durable.
