Best Friend Clip on Cribbing Muzzle Pony

The Best Friend Cribbing Muzzle allows horses to eat and drink freely while gently and humanely limiting the damage from a number of undesirable equine behaviors, including: - Cribbing and/or wood-chewing - Chewing blankets, bandages or wounds - Chewing other objects - Biting other ponies - Biting themselves - Biting people The nylon and aluminum construction is lightweight, rustproof, rot-proof and easy-to-clean. The Best Friend Cribbing Muzzle is padded for comfort and attaches to your breakaway halter with a four-point breakaway system that enhances safety. The muzzle should be positioned so that the bars run vertically (north and south). To attach the muzzle, loop the four straps over the noseband and chinstrap. (The two side straps may be looped through the halter rings for added stability.) Leave the metal rings in the down position to allow the muzzle to breakaway. The breakaway system will hold in place under normal circumstances, yet will pull apart if a pony panics and struggles to free itself. This feature greatly reduces the risk of injury to the pony. To disable the breakaway feature, slide the metal rings up over the hook-and-loop straps. Fitting Instructions: Measure up the muzzle depth on your horse and check the circumference at that point. The muzzle should not fit tight but should have a few fingers space between the muzzle and horse Sizing: Pony Most average size ponies and yearlings, very small faced horses, 300-500 lbs. 12 hands and under 20" circumference x 4 1/2" depth Cob Large ponies or small horses, such as Morgans or Arabians, 500-800 lbs, 13-14 hands 22" circumference x 5 1/2" depth Horse (Average) Average Size horses, such as Quarter Horses, 800-1100 lbs, 15-16 hands 24" circumference x 6" depth Large Horse (Oversize) Warmbloods and large faced horses, 1,100 to 1,600 lbs., 17 hands and over 26" circumference x 6 1/2" depth
