Got a little 11h Section A that has had very bad laminitis in the past (before we got her) and as a result, she only ever goes out with a muzzle on and is fine. She's in medium work - exercised every day led off a big horse and then hunts on a Saturday with my 7 year old. She's looking good!!
Anyway we've now got next to no grass in the fields and I'm actually wondering whether I should be taking her muzzle off. We've never had this little amount of grass. Entirely my fault for keeping the neighbour's sheep in for too long. Is it ever safe to remove a muzzle?
To be fair to her, she had it off for 5 hours on Sunday and was fine. But i work so it would need to be off from 8 - 5 p.m or not at all.
