Horse grazing muzzles are a must for many horses but discomfort is not.
This Flexibly Filly grazing horse muzzle is unlike the typical heavy, hard, and “cage-like” apparatus of the past. We listened to horse owners just like you and designed this to be softer, lighter and less confining. Constructed of a durable and pliable material that radically improves comfort, it is also soft on equine teeth and lips. The Flexible Filly Muzzle is well-ventilated and safe, rated to break just before your turnout halter.
The 6 ounce grazing muzzle is made from one of the most durable polymers on the planet. It is fungal, mold and UV resistant. It is safe, effective and durable. There are no “off gassing” materials so they are safe near the nostrils. Even if accidentally ingested the polymers pass USA food safety regulations.
The muzzle is ideal for slowing down speedy eaters, limiting grazing, and can help curb minor cribbing problems. The muzzle can also keep horses from chewing on leg wraps, wood, or blankets. It works extremely well with all automatic waterers and has UV protection which works much like sunscreen for those delicate noses.

It generally takes about 10 minutes to get everything perfect the first time you install a ThinLine Flexible Grazing Muzzle.
Step 1
Use the enclosed paper ties or a string to discover the best holes to secure your horse muzzle to your halter. The paper ties are a temporary tool that allows you to easily adjust the fit.
Step 2
Two of the “fins” have a triangle cut out. These attach to the square (side) rings on your halter. Three fins will connect to the noseband, one in the center, and the other two fall naturally to the sides of the center. Three fins will connect to the chin band; one in the center, two naturally to the sides of the center.
Step 3
First, secure each triangle cut-out fin with one of the enclosedenclosed paper ties or a string. Do not wrap the fins around the halter, doing so may cause rubs.
Step 4
When properly installed, the grazing muzzle should be close to but not touching the nose of the horse. If the grazing muzzle is touching the nose simply make the fins under the chin longer, this will lift the muzzle away from the nose.
Step 5
Once you are satisfied you have the correct holes aligned to the halter please remove the paper ties or string and permanently secure the horse muzzle with the included cable ties. After finding the best fit for your horse, simply trim the excess fin material just above the top hole being used.
It is fine to wait a day or two to ensure your muzzle is a comfortable distance from your horse’s mouth before trimming. The “keeper” on the cable tie is on the outside of the muzzle and the excess is facing down and trimmed close.
If you have fitted the grazing muzzle properly and the muzzle is the correct size it will work famously. If you find there is too much grazing room be sure your fins are snugly secured to your halter. The fins should not move along the noseband if it does simply pull the cable tie tighter.
