Adjustable head stall helps this model actually stay on! Widened breathing space more comfortable for the horse. I’ve thrown out 3 of the old style as horses broke them while taking them off.

Love this for fat pony
I have had one for about 6 years and it finally wore out. Just ordered replacement. Haven’t yet received but I am hoping it’s as well made and holds up to daily wear like the first one.

Durable and easy to use
This was purchased for a draft horse that had never worn one before. I was expecting it to last 5 minutes tops. Pleasently surprised it has been great. Easy to put on and take off. Durable and easy for him to eat and drink. Great product !!!

Doesn't work.
These work ok but my mare knows how to widen the hole to eat grass. I would recommend the grazing muzzle that has the smaller holes so they can drink. I bought a different one that worked better.

Our 2 horses wear these everyday. One horse has rubbed it off his nose on occasion so he wore it like a necklace, but a piece of Velcro now holds it to the nosepiece of his halter. Have used new ones each summer. The grazing hole gets bigger with time but by then the grass is getting thinner so it still works! Certainly saves our horses.

Best Grazing Muzzle I've ever used
Reasonable sized hole so the horse gets food without getting frustrated by a tiny hole, but not too much. Able to leave my easy keeper Morgan out 12 hours a day with his buddies and he is maintaining his ideal weight. Lots of free space around the nostrils for easy breathing. Slight rubbing at the chin remedied with application of a small piece of fleece inside the muzzle webbing. Hands down, best grazing muzzle out there.

Good but ordered the wrong size
Seems to be made good... it does have a bigger hole in it and that is what I was looking for. I do know that it is in the best interest of my boy but I feel awful putting it on him. He always came to me but know that I put a grazing muzzle on his face he goes the other way. I ordered the largest one by mistake and it is all packaged up to send back I then will order the correct size.

Good grazing muzzle.
I like the design very much. This is the second one I have purchased. My Morgan wears it all night while out to pasture with his horse mates. I can only get about one season per halter The hole wears out by the end of the season...

Love it!
I like the larger rectangle hole in this as opposed to a small round one. My horse had no issues getting used to it. It's a little big around her muzzle and she has learned how to take it off, but will put a row of fleece around to make it tighter. I was glad I bought it as she can be out longer on pasture.

Love it! Doesn’t collect dirt inside the muzzle like other have and the reinforced bottom is awesome!

Tough-1 Easy Breathe Pony sized Grazing Muzzle
I have 3 mini sized Tough-1 Easy Breathe Grazing Muzzles for my very small ponies and they have worked very well for 2 seasons. I didn't know if my 12.3 chunk would need a pony or a yearling size, I went with pony and it is ideal size taken up almost all the way. I have heard people have trouble having them stay on. I use them for a max of 6 hours at a time at pasture and in 2 seasons have not had one rubbed off, but neither will I leave them on, especially when I am not home. All other times they have 1" hay nets in stalls/paddocks. Although these muzzles have velcro I doubt very strongly that minis or ponies they would have enough force to rip it off if they get hung up. Throat latch has a spring snap hook that can easily get rubbed and hitched onto something else so I twist the throat latch and hitch it to the inside. I would prefer a slide bold snap there.
Muzzle works great
Works great trained them to accept it with a snack in it then put snack at bottom on the outside to teach them how to eat it. Works great
Nice
Just got this so still working on getting it adjusted correctly. It did put a sore on her chin, so doing another adjustment.
Horse took to it right away!
I previously tried a grazing muzzle with a 1" hole and it was very frustrating for my horse, so purchased this one with a larger hole. She took to it almost right away and doesn't seem to mind having it put on. I always give her a treat through the hole after she gets it on. She measured 22 inches around so ordered a large size which isn't too large, and I have room to add some fleece if it starts to rub. The hole is 1 1/4 inches wide by 2 inches long which enables her to get grass, but not too much. However I think a length of 1 1/2 inches may be better. So far I am limiting her time of grass, but she is happy to be out with her buddy. I am really pleased with this product.
Works great for me
I use it on my cribber when I have enough of her cribbing as collar do not work on her. Keep it with me in the trailer so she can not crib on that.
Durable, great product.
So many of the grazing muzzles I have tried either have a very tiny opening that doesn't line up with the lips and thus is really a MUZZLE than a grazing muzzle - this one is well designed to limit their grazing but not to obliterate it! Very durable, does not come off easy - some other brands I have had flip off easily or rub the horse's nose/muzzle - this one is the best!
Works as intended.
This muzzle is comfortable for my horse. He has no problems with it. He had it on in the heat of summer and had no issues with drinking or breathing.
Our pasture horse does well with these.
We have a laminitic horse that wears these muzzles in spring and fall. I like them because they are more open than traditional muzzles and they rub less, though they rub a little so we put tape on parts of them to stop that. Once in awhile she will get it off, but rarely.
Way too big
Well made and just what I wanted! Way too big for mini horse. Customer service was fantastic with helping me return and try to find a product that would fit.
not durable,
Purchased for a donkey, he has been using it for 2 weeks, I have already had to reinforce one of the side straps, the rest of muzzle looks like he has been using it for months, he seems to be able to get it off no matter how you adjust it, a constant battle to keep it on.
This muzzle works better than most
I have an IR gelding that I have wear this when on pasture for a short time. He took awhile to learn how to eat with it , but the bigger hole and the nostril holes allows him to eat more grass better and breath easier than other brands .
I bought this muzzle for the large breathing holes for my mare's comfort.
This is a well made product. Its design keeps it on the horse's head -- so far my mare has not rubbed it off. The large breathing holes make it superior to the other muzzles I have used and gives me the additional peace of mind that my mare is as comfortable as I can make her.
Just what I needed
Got this for my mare after laminitis to reduce grass intake. My friend suggested this specific muzzle because of the increased air flow from the nose holes and I am very happy with it. My mare keeps it on well so far. I do feel like the Velcro top might be a problem though if your horse was a trickster about getting it off. The hole in the bottom does allow her to get some grass but she has to work for it. Great buy for the money! Definitely recommend.
Ok, it took my miniature 2 days to figure out how to open the velcro on the cheek piece. There he was this morning happily grazing in the pasture after his second night out. He must have rubbed himself silly on the gate post to get it open, because that's where I found it on the ground. I took some heavy duty rug thread and a huge needle and a pair of pliers to sew it down. Otherwise, I had it adjusted just fine and had all the confidence that it was strong enough to keep him in check. It looks like a very strong, serviceable product, well worth the money, but I have no idea why the use of velcro on the main strap? Also, from reading other reviews, I thought my oversize mini would take a pony size muzzle...not true. It was way too big, so returned with no problem for the mini size. So I dealt with the inconvenience of paying shipping twice (to and from) and waiting another week and a half to get the muzzle.
This product works well for me and my horses
I purchased three of the muzzles--one horse and two mini sizes. They are very adjustable, and the horses tolerate them well. The horse muzzle has a ring to use while leading the horse, but for some reason, this handy feature is not included on the mini muzzles. Two of the throat latches have the clip positioned correctly--opening away from the horse--but on the horse muzzle, I have to twist the strap to get the clip positioned correctly. I would still recommend this product to horse owners who need to restrict their horse's access to food.
Overall good product in its class.
I like the larger front holes for easier breathing. My pony seems to like it too. So far the muzzle seems durable. Two concerns for the pony size that I bought and received. First, there was no leading ring as was advertised and as I expected. Perhaps it only comes on the larger size muzzles. Also, the throat latch strap buckle is turned and sewn in such that it opens towards my pony's face rather than to the outside like I've normally seen. Because of these two facts, I'm concerned that the quality control at the manufacturer's might not be good.
I was excited to find an easy breath muzzle. I've been cutting bigger holes in my muzzles for years for my horse and pony who has allergies and heaves and has a terrible time breathing in the summer. Unfortunately, by the 3rd day my horse came in with a bloody muzzle where the muzzle has rubbed him raw. The shape of the muzzle does not give him enough room. A horse with a smaller muzzle may do fine. The quality of the muzzle is fine.

Do you think it will keep horse from eating acorns?
BEST ANSWER: This has a rectangular hole, but it is larger so I don't think it would prevent them from eating acorns. GreenGuard might be better because it has lots of smaller holes. I would just be concerned because I don't think horses can eat hay (or at least very well) if Your horse is only wearing the muzzle so that they don't eat acorns, they may end up dropping a lot of weight.

I have bought this muzzle because my horse got to fat from my good pasture. I like this muzzle because it is not hot on their face, and some of the grass still sticks through, I don't think it would be possible to eat acorns the holes are not big enough. I also like this product because it is very durable, I hope this helps with your decision.
I love the muzzle. She can breath real easily in it and doesn't seem to get as sweaty in it as others, but unfortunately we have an oak tree just outside our pasture and she gobbles up the acorns right through the muzzle. Even the larger acorns fit right through. I end up raking them out of the pasture.
They could possibly, and I think it may be a little difficult. My minis have to move the muzzle back and forth to get the grass, so if there are a lot of acorns, possibly they could get some. Depending on the size of the acorn to the size of the hole in the muzzle.
It will slow them down but probably not stop entirely. The hole is big enough for an acorn to pass through but it would take some patience on the horses' part to position the hole perfectly to allow the acorn to pass.
I would say no the hole in the bottom is plenty large enough to fit an acorn. I wouldn't risk it.
Probably not for regular or small sized acorns, would still fit thru hole in basket.
Id say no, considering the size of acorns and the size of the hole in the muzzle
I would not trust this to prevent a horse from eating acorns.
It doesn't stop them from eating but slows them down a lot.
No. Acorns could fit through hole.

Is this muzzle "break away" in case a horse got hung up?
A shopper
on Apr 25, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes it has double Velcro on the poll. However if you have a Houdini horse I would get the muzzle attachment not the entire halter and muzzle set. That way if you use a normal breakaway halter they have to break leather instead of Velcro. Keep in my mind I have a very strong large pony. If it's for an older guy I think the Velcro would be fine.

I honestly took this muzzle off my mini an hour after I put it on him. It was too large and very heavy and my concern was exactly that. I was afraid of him getting hung up on a fence or on anything. Never used it again and I should have sent it back. I now would like to fing a light one that is break away. Hope this helps
The straps are nylon,but it fastens on the left side of the neck with Velcro not a buckle.He got it off once. But the Velcro has gotten mud and hay in it and it still stays on. So it doesn't come off easily, but would probably come off in an emergency situation.
I think it would break away. Part of the strap employees a "Velcro sandwich" which makes it easy to adjust. I think that part would give way if the horse got hung up. I haven't had to test that theory, however.
Hi. It has a velcro strap that holds it on like a halter. So if they get caught on fence & pull back it will come apart. Mine has done that a couple of times..
Yes, it has a section with velcro that will separate in case the horse gets caught om something.
Yes it is, our mini got it hooked on a fence and it did break away.
Yes a breakaway and a great muzzle !!
Yes, it fastens with Velcro

Will the mini sizedo muzzle fit a size A mini horse?
BEST ANSWER: This is totally adjustable for a good fit. I still continue to adjust when putting on my horse. I do have fleece/wool halter pieces with velcro that I use to keep metal throat latch from rubbing/pressure point. Also added fleece on top of nose piece. Can purchase grazing muzzle with it already, but haven't tried that.

My pony that got this for is 11 hands and 400 lbs, but she does have a small head. She fits in a yearling size halter and a mini/foal size in cashel fly mask. So if your mini has a normal sized head for his size you should be okay, Sorry its not a straight answer, but hope that helps.
Hi Hannah I'm not sure what you mean by type A , the mini I bought one for I would consider a part Flabella . So the answer to you question is yes.
The grazing muzzles fit both my A and B size minis. They are very adjustable, and they don't keep the minis from eating. They just slow them down.
Yes. Make sure all the buckles are tight so he can't rub it off. He has plenty of room to breathe and eat.
