I have found that this muzzle holds up longer than the more expensive one. My mare would go through those muzzles in about 6 weeks by slowly enlarging the grazing hole. These seem to last longer so save me from replacing so often. It is always frustrating to have to replace the entire muzzle when only the hole wears out.

Do not waste your money on this product. The basket is not deep enough to keep my pony from pushing out of it. I've had to put Chicago screws in to hold the adjustment as the plastic holders have already broke...all of them. And it appears all grazing muzzles, to save a penny, come with velco rather than a buckle. What velco is strong enough to withstand a horse? Very very disappointment and a total waste of money.

I bought one of these about 4 or 5 years ago and didn't use it heavily until this year. Bought one of these new ones for a spare and there's a BIG difference in the construction. Strapping is much lighter weight also. Sure hope the thing holds up as I hate those awful metal ones.

While this muzzle is at a competitive price, I was very disappointed in the quality and durability. I bought 3 and within 2 weeks the 1st one started to fall apart, Within 5-6 weeks all 3 are unusable. When I called cutomer service, they said they only will replace them for 1 month. If I had known they had such a short guarantee, I would have sent back all three when the 1st one fell apart. Instead I tried to fix it myself where the seams came out which did not work anyway. Very disturbed about quality of horse.com products, as I also bought 3 fly masks at the same time, which also did not last even 3 weeks before they started getting holes in them.

I bought this product based on the many rave reviews comparing it to the "more expensive brand". I was very disappointed in the quality - it is NOT comparable to the other brand - the muzzle is constructed of much a much thinner material that my horse ate through in less than one week. In addition, the muzzle piece had a very strong, offensive rubbery odor that did not dissipate over time - waste of money.

Had to hang the item outside for almost 2 months to get rid of the horrific smell. Fits very well, however, my mare totally ripped out the cheap rubber bottom in about 2 days. Replaced the rubber bottom.

This will be the 3rd one I have bought for my S.S.H. mare this season. She eats the bottom out, and finds a way to get it hung on "something" to tear it up. Can't find a better product for the money though. Keeps her sound on her feet. Cheaper than Vet visits or making her miserable being shut up while the rest of the herd is out on pasture.

I have used these muzzles in the past for my minis and thought they were a good value. However, the new ones are terrible. They fall apart within a week. Obviously a different manufacturer is being used. Don't bother with these anymore. Spend the extra and get a much higher quality and it will last for a long time.

Muzzle arrived with a very strong chemical odor, I tried washing it, and leavinig it outside to air for a week,still stinks! When I did put it on my horse it lasted all of three days, rubber side supports ripped easily.

I think the design is ok,but the material they used to make the muzzle smell so bad (chemical smell) made me uncomfortable to use them. I sent them back to Horses .com. Please come up with a better material.

We have 3 of the grazing muzzles, and they have been used often. One has lasted 4 years, and is now ready to be replaced. I would recommend this product to help prevent ponies from over grazing.

I got this for my one pony about 2 years ago. Only now has it started to show its age. I liked it so much that i got one for my other pony and with in an hour of putting it on she had managed to pop it apart. I watched her do it.

When my mustang discovered he couldn't graze with the muzzle on he threw a royal fit! But, after he burned off excess energy from being cooped up, he settled down and enjoys being out in the pasture vs being contained. Caught him in the early stages of foundering and he's doing great!

I have tried all types of grazing muzzles over the years for my laminitic prone pony. Although she does wear thru 2 of these during the grazing season, this muzzle causes less rubbing and sore areas.

Half the rubber connectors to the nylon halter ripped out after only a couple weeks use rendering it useless. This must be a design flaw or use of inferior materials since I now see several others have had the same problem. Cheap price, cheap product. Guess you get what you pay for.

My horse ripped the bottom out of this muzzle in 3 days. It looked pretty tough and fit nicely but for $20, I averaged about $7 a day and not long enough to make any difference in his weight.

I have used these for years with no complaints until 2009. The muzzles I have received have a very strong and noxious odor and it doesn't fade much with time and use. The first one I ordered in 2009 I figured the smell would go away. The second one I got smelled worse than the first. I noticed these are made in China and they have a distinct strong smell like chemicals. I have washed it with soap and water and hung it in the sun but the smell is still very strong. I am afraid to put it on my horse for fear of him inhaling this smell for 9-10 hours a day. Isn't China where some things we have gotten contain poisions? I stll haven't made up my mind to send this back, but I probably will.

I buy two a year. The bottom always comes off. This product is the best of what's available. I have tried them all,to rate this product it would be avarage for $19.95. When they were $40 or more, poor for sure.The bottom needs to be tougher, less plyable, the horse mashes it to the ground and bites the bottom in the process of getting the grass that comes through the hole.And it needs a nose band. The velcro is a good idea, if it gets caught on something the velcro can be pulled apart with enough force.

My Vet warned me to put a grazing muzzle on our cob size fat pony. We put a horse size muzzle on our cob pony as he wants to be out with the herd on 30 acres of grass. Our pony's weight is perfect and he seems perfectly happy in it. We do have one horse that stoped drinking alot of water and we had to take it off of him.

I purchased two of these Muzzles. Only used them in the trailer for my two Fjords - they eat my padding in the trailer. After two trips they destroyed them, the seams came apart and separated from the fabric.

This grazing muzzle is comparable to the very expensive ones. All have had the bottom worn out before the season ends; however I get horse shoeing pads, cut them to the diameter of the muzzle, round the edges, cut a 1" hole in the pad and presto: I have a new grazing muzzle when the only thing wrong is that the bottom has been worn out. Good value for a great product. Much cheaper and better for the horse than laminitis.

I bought two of these muzzles for two different horses. Besides it being easy for the horse to remove, the rubber bottom (end where the grass is accessible) became detached from the webbing within a week by one horse and two weeks by the other. . Would recommend a muzzle with a metal bottom (at least more my guys).

I have used these muzzles for years now. A great value, but every one that I have bought has come assembled wrong. The halter part is always twisted funny, like it is put together backwards. After I fix that, I have had to tie baling twine to the front top of the muzzle, criss-crossed to the rings to keep my horse from rubbing it on the ground and getting his lips over the top. I have also had to tie another piece under his throat to keep him from rubbing it and going over from the back. It gets into the 90s where I live, and I wish that it was not black and that they allowed more air to flow to the horse's nostrils. The webbing is thick along the nostrils and there is only a little opening for air. If I still lived down South, I would not make my horses wear one on a hot day. Also, from the sounds of their ripping and chewing, I'd say that the hole could be smaller. I think that they are still getting too much grass through the hole. On one of my muzzles, I glued a heavy plastic over the hole, so that they cannot get any grass at all. I feed hay to my two foundered horses, and the muzzle is just for recreation, exercise and socialization. It's great to let their sore feet walk on grass instead of the hard packed dry-lot, too.

I bought two. They wear out very quickly...a month on my horse. I see by the reviews that some horses aren't as hard on these muzzles as others.... I need to find one that really lasts!

We have a mare that is IR and her pasture time MUST be limited but she needs time to be with the herd to run and be a horse. This allows her that freedom her mind and body needs while limiting her grass intake. The quality and fit are wonderful. The only thing I change is the throat snap, I turn it so that it goes in...had it catch on the fence when she was trying to rub it off!! Could have been ugly.

This is my second year using this muzzle. It is a great buy and rubs my horse's nose much less than the previous one that had metal on the bottom. He can get it off very easily so I have to add an extra leather strap around his throat and fasten the side rings to it, but it works great this way and is keeping him from putting on too much extra weight. I'm buying another for my chubby mare.

I have purchased the more expensive grazing muzzles from other companies before and there is NO DIFFERENCE between theirs and the ones that Country Supply carry... For the past several years I have only purchased the ones from here, and they have held up well and their fit is adjustable. Of course, the horses do wear out the bottoms when worn often during the spring and summer months, that is expected; but for the price, I just order extra ones to have on hand... they are well worth it!!!! I would recomend these muzzles to anyone concerned about their horses weight and well-being...( from a trainer and instructor for over 30 years)

I have used this muzzle on 5 of my horses--3 muzzles are still in use after a year. Unfortunately--I have two horses that have been able to destroy any muzzle that is placed on them--expensive or cheap-so if I have to replace weekly or monthly--these muzzles are the way to go!!!

The muzzle came assembled incorrectly, which was easy to fix, but the buckle was on the inside. Duct tape over it fixed the problem. Unfortunately the little guy ripped out the bottom in a week.

This product did not hold up at all! After the third use my horse managed to rip all but two of the rubber connectors to the nylon halter and rendered it useless. And because I planned ahead and bought it prior to grazing season I couldn't get a refund since I didn't use it prior to the 30 day return policy - way to stand behind what you sell!!!!!

Love this product-I had the more expensive one and it rubbed my horse's nose raw on top, the neoprene in this one prevents that. I use it to pasture my laminitic prone horse 4 times a week to limit his grass intake. This lets him socialize with the herd on his out days.

I have used these and the more expensive "name brand" version and have to say that the quality of this grazing muzzle is comparable to the more expensive brand. I highly recommend it.
