The French link in this bit means pressure is applied to both sides of the tongue. Some horses with low palates may find this bit more comfortable as it is unlikely to make contact with the palate when the bit comes in to action. The full cheeks assist with steering.
FreeGraze grazing muzzles are proven to help with controlled or restricted feeding regimes and special diets. The Comfort Grazing Muzzles are cut back under the chin to avoid unnecessary pressure and improve the fit. The muzzle features a rubber base with a hole in the bottom through which grass can enter, reinforced nylon web bars which allow free air exchange and the anti-chafe padding around inside of the muzzle protects the delicate nose and chin. The fully adjustable harness benefits from anti-chafe padding and is fitted with a field safe fastening. A D-ring allows a lead rope to be attached. This Deluxe version is lined with synthetic wool which helps protect against chafing and improves airflow around the delicate nose area. Build up wear time gradually.
The loose ring cheek can discourage fixing and leaning as it has much more movement than a fixed cheek to follow the angle of the tongue. The shaped lozenge offers even pressure and encourages mouthing and contact. Mouthpiece thickness: 15mm. Cheek height: 65mm.
