This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good Monday morning, everyone!!
We are instore for another beautiful Minnesota day - I am heading out with a friend on a drive. Just thought I would mention that I purchased a grazing muzzle for Sven -- seems to be working well. Time will tell if it helps with his weight -- but he is tolerating the muzzle and within SECONDS developed a technique to get the most grass per bite with the thing, :):) At least I can leave him out to graze longer -- I do have to leave his halter on so only put it on when I am home. The muzzle is made of plastic coated iron with fleece around the area that comes in contact with the skin. I paid 29.95 through United Vet -- it was $60.00 at a local tack shop :( Anyway, thought I would pass along this info. to anyone who is dealing with an overweight Fjord. Went on a ride yesterday with husband on the QH and I on Sven. Perfectly wonderful!! Used the lightweight fly masks made for riding - worked great! The company makes gear for humans too - pretty soon both horse and rider will be totally incased by netting - HAHA!! Linda in Minnesota
