I have a food inhaling/hoovering/vacuuming, always on the edge of founder, way too good a doer little smarty pants arab who figures everything else out far too quickly except for the grazing muzzle. Going to try your 'method' and see if we can get her to accept it rather than just removing it (she does) after 5 frustrated minutes. <br /><br />Would it be inappropriate to gaffer tape it to her head if your method fails? (sorry, she really needs to be in the desert where her forebears were, although I'm sure she'd still find something to eat, as she loves mulch and loves to dig up stuff to eat when she gets bored with the surface offerings).<br /><br />Love your posts. I do endurance in Australia and love reading about other peoples' experiences.Cheval Noirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00673329525099078872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512029654494965635.post-36711616389746128812011-10-23T00:08:08.915+01:002011-10-23T00:08:08.915+01:00That's very helpful, thanks!!!!That's very helpful, thanks!!!!Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526076493821209436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512029654494965635.post-33620522433570158372011-10-22T16:10:33.073+01:002011-10-22T16:10:33.073+01:00My borderlining-on-genius mare, who could get hers...My borderlining-on-genius mare, who could get herself into and out of ANY scrap she could think of without harm, absolutely could not figure out her grazing muzzle. She did, however, figure out how to get it off ;) And when I put it back on repeatedly, she figured out that if she hung herself on the fence by the muzzle (literally, she managed to clip the snap of it onto the wire mesh fence while wearing it), she could completely destroy it and shred it into a million pieces when she pulled back away from it.
