Shires - MJ Ainge and Co Ltd Greenguard Horse Grass Muzzle in Black Pony Size

About this item

Greenguard grazing muzzles are ideal for overweight horses, horses that feed well or are at risk of laminitis due to metabolism syndrome, insulin resistance or Cushing's syndrome. Greenguard grazing muzzles allow for unrestricted breathing and drinking, while encouraging the habit of grazing little and often. Easy to attach to a headband, the Greenguard Grazing Muzzle has adjustable straps for a perfect fit; plus it's secure, flexible, and made of food-grade material. Grazing muzzles can help horses and ponies control their grass intake when in controlled or restricted feeding regimens. Muzzles should be used when horses or ponies need to lose weight or when they are suffering from insulin resistance due to metabolic syndrome or Cushing's syndrome. Muzzles have been shown to reduce dry matter intake by 80% significantly reducing the size and amount of grass consumed. Grazing muzzles are also effective year-round if needed and seem to increase the amount of time the horse or pony spends looking for food. Important: The pony size is very small and is only really suitable for horses with small heads, such as Welsh A, B or Shetland.
