The large size fits both my big headed gelding and smaller headed mare. We introduced the muzzle by putting in a few supplement cookies, and starting out with 30 minutes of grazing in the muzzle for 3 days. We then increased the time by 30 minutes every other day. Della has done fine and quickly mastered the art of grazing through the muzzle hole, but we keep the pasture short. She spends 5 hours a day in the muzzle, and one hour of "free" grazing time. The rest of the time is in the dry lot. So far, Jostein and Hanna are holding their weight with six hours of grazing time. There is always a good bit of excitement when the grazing muzzle comes out because they all know that there are cookies at the bottom (Joe learned that he could reach into the tack room to grab the waiting muzzle while I was putting on the girls' fly masks - now the muzzle is hung up and back until fly masks are on). Kate with Joe, Hanna, and the girl we lovingly call "Fatty Fatty Boom Boom" **************Make your summer sizzle with fast and easy recipes for the grill.
