Welcome Jo Anne and Emily!
I have been a long time Fjord owner of Elph for 17 years, and have used a
grazing muzzle on him at times when he could not be on dry lot. You may
want to check to see if any of the new barns have a dry lot, as many breeds
and ponies

These muzzles sound easy, but my experience has been otherwise. I
have one that clips to the halter and has a hole in the bottom. When I
tried it years ago on our Morgan, he did not object, just stood around
with his head down, his whole attit

If your pasture is too long he may have a bit of an issue working the grass
in, but trust me, he can do it. Della Ree is a pro at the grazing muzzle

it. Joe is more like

I feed them hay first, them put a little hay with a few treats on top in the

My fjord wears hers when she starts getting chunky and my boss's Paso wears

They recommend you feed them treats through the

like a Cheerio is at least small. Or, even better,

I don't know what size she'd wear. I know a lot of fjord people use these

Rom is 14.1hh, and should wear a 5-3/8" bit (we make do with 5-1/2"
ones). I bought a "horse" size Best Friends grazing muzzle for him,
which seems to do the job. It may be a bit snug around the nose,
as he keeps rubbing off a bit of hair

Hi All,
Pretty soon the Grass will be growing in this area. I will have so much
grass it isn't funny.
I will need to find a really well made Grazing Muzzle for my Fjord mare.
Does anyone one know where I can buy one?
Thanks,
Shari

My feed/tack store has them in stock. Ordering them online from the

They tend to ride up and down on the facemore room around the nose,
hence less scuffing of nose.
