It is best for horses that dislike having their ears covered, and for owners who want the muzzle left free for grazing, as the mask has no nose protection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eElastic inserts and a Velcro fastener hold the mask securely in place during turnout, and an opening at the top allows the forelock to sit through the mask rather than being trapped underneath.
