Sorry, rubbish title; what I am after is a muzzle I can ride my horses in. I exercise them regularly in dense woods and it is now way beyond a joke; they both grab tree branches the whole time and will stop and munch, totally ignoring any desperate attempts to stop them (by experienced riders). The problem is, the tracks are narrow so the branches are right by the horses' heads making it impossible to stop them grabbing. My lad also rears up to grab leaves- I try to stop him with a whip positioned over his head but he is very determined. Not only is it annoying and looks stupid/unprofessional (just a bit!) but there are poisonous trees around too (rhododendron, bracken, yew) Years ago, I found a full-nose net muzzle in Jolleys which does the trick, but I need another one and can't find one! Alternatively would the leather muzzle on the Barnstormers website be rideable in do you think?
