Waldhausen Adjustable Grazing Muzzle for Horses
Description
Waldhausen Grazing Muzzle — Adjustable Breakaway Turnout Muzzle
The Waldhausen Grazing Muzzle is a turnout muzzle that helps limit how much grass a horse or pony eats while still allowing normal grazing, drinking and movement in the field. It is best for owners managing weight and grass intake on good pasture, and it suits horses, ponies and cobs once the straps are adjusted to the individual head shape.
Made of high quality material, it uses a Velcro fastener on the head piece as a breakaway feature and includes a lead ring so you can clip on a lead rope and lead in-hand without removing the muzzle. Browse more turnout kit in our horse turnout collection.

How to Use
- Adjust the straps so the muzzle sits level and secure, without pulling on the poll or nose.
- Check there is clearance between the base of the muzzle and the lips so the horse can open its mouth and drink.
- Fasten the Velcro head piece firmly enough to hold, but so it can still release under pressure.
- Introduce the muzzle in short supervised sessions so your horse learns to graze through the opening.
- Build up wearing time gradually and check the fit and skin under the straps daily.
- Wipe clean after use, air dry, and inspect the Velcro, straps and lead ring for wear.
FAQ
Will my horse still be able to drink wearing this muzzle?
Yes. Fitted correctly with clearance below the lips, a horse can drink normally. Check water access during the first few turnouts to be sure.
Is the Waldhausen Grazing Muzzle adjustable?
Yes. It offers individual size adjustment so the straps can be set to your horse's head shape, which helps prevent rubbing and slipping.
What is the breakaway feature?
The head piece uses a Velcro fastener that can release if the muzzle becomes caught, reducing the risk of the horse being held fast.
Can I lead my horse while the muzzle is on?
Yes. A lead ring is fitted so you can clip a lead rope on and lead in-hand to and from the field.
How do I stop the muzzle rubbing?
Check the fit daily, keep the muzzle clean and sitting level, and make sure it is not too tight at the nose or poll. Remove it if any soreness develops.
How long should my horse wear a grazing muzzle?
Introduce it gradually over short periods and follow the grazing routine advised by your own vet or yard for your horse's weight management.
