How should the grazing muzzle fit?
The muzzle should not be tight or restricting and should allow room for grazing and chewing. You should be able to fit two to three fingers sideways between the grazing muzzle and the horse\’s face. The Standard muzzles have a slightly closer fit. Check regularly for rubbing, especially when introducing the horse to the muzzle. If necessary, use padding such as sheepskin or a Muzzle Mate (see Accessories) to cushion sensitive areas. Having the proper fit and adjustments will help avoid rubbing.
