This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Deb, I am getting my mare used to one too. She likes to wear it as I put a hand full of grass in it when I first put it on her. But she is going to take time to get used to it. Think it said to start them on short grass first to learn. Sorry I can't help more than that. Would love to hear from others that got theirs used to this muzzle. Shari In a message dated 4/18/2006 2:27:46 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
am in Northwest Washington where pasture is lush, and have just started with a Best Friend grazing muzzle on my four year old gelding Henry. So far he stands around looking unhappy, and paws in frustration, and nibbles a little. He is in his pen/stall area at night - no muzzle of course - and gets a little grain w vitamins, etc, plenty of hay. So, feedback about how long it takes to get used to the grazing muzzle, do horses with muzzles do ok if in with unmuzzled horses, and does this greatly reduced pasture intake need to be nutritionally balanced somehow that I'm not thinking of - obviously the muzzle is a wonderful alternantive to being kept in, I just hope Henry gets it before he starves.
