This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] i too was looking for a muzzle this spring when i saw how big my boy was getting. on everyone's recommendation, i purchased the best friends model and have not been disappointed with it. once or twice he figured out how to get it off by rubbing his head on the barn, but all in all, it worked well. they do develop a little diving motion to get the grass into the hole, it's rather amusing, at night when i take it off, he tends to fling his head up fast when he's getting his hay, but that goes away when he realizes there's nothing on his head. silly boy. we are very much into winter now, so i won't use it again, but it shows very little wear and should be ok for next year. he does tend to get a rub mark on one side of his cheek, but it hasn't rubbed any hair off or anything.
laurie and oz, who has spent the night in the barn the last two days, since we had 40 mph wind and a temp near zero. it's not so much that he'd be cold, but i am keeping an eye on our rescue, who still has a rather thin winter coat, and really wants oz inside with him. right now oz has so much hair i can't tell if he's gained weight again, but i am thinking it's mostly coat. he's been very neat in the stall, dumping all the poop in one corner. charlie, on the other hand, does it all over and then works it into the bedding, requiring a complete stall clean out.
