The ultra-lightweight aluminum grill, nylon webbing and padded noseband make the Best Friend Cribbing/Free-to-Eat Muzzle a gentle and humane alternative for curbing cribbing. The muzzle limits unwanted behavior, such as cribbing and biting while it allows eating and drinking. The four-point attachment system prevents pivoting and rotating.
To Clean: You can extend the life of your muzzle by cleaning it regularly at least once a week. The muzzle is easy to clean. Simply brush off dirt and then hose off or swish in water. Let air dry.
SIZING CHART
Normally your horse will wear the same size muzzle as halter. For example, if your horse wears a cob size halter it would wear a cob size muzzle. Leave a small space (1/2 to one inch) between your horse's mouth and the bottom of the muzzle. You can also use this chart to help determine the correct size.

"My Morgan mare chews the walls in her stall. Her bad habit has cost me a lot of money in repairs. I tried "Quit", unfortunately, it did not work for her. I was forced to put a muzzle on her. The only muzzle that seemed to work was very heavy and left pressure sores on the poll even with the sheepskin padding. I recently bought a Best Friend Muzzle to try on her. I have to say that I am very pleased!! Not only does it work, but it is at least half the weight of the other muzzle!! Thank you for the product. It has saved my mare from a life of pain and discomfort. It has also lifted my heavy heart." P.M., Manchester NH
I would like to tell you that I have bought two of the Best Friend Free-To-Eat/Cribbing muzzles recently. Of all the anti-cribbing muzzles I have tried I believe yours work the best." R. V., Saranac NY
"You have a fantastic product that really works. It is a very humane way of treating a serious problem that until now was completely unmanageable. I have tried everything over the years and was lucky enough to find you over the internet by search engine." Charlene
