Bought this for my horse to wear when he is turned out in a small paddock during inclement weather. Even with hay, he gets bored and will start to chew. Since he only wears it for short periods of time, I thought it would hold up okay. Needless to say, it was not at all durable. The velcro straps broke and even baling twine could not hold it together. I would not recommend this product.

Couldn't ask for a better product! LOVE the break away and the removable anti-grazing feature. We have only been using it for about 2 wks. now so durability is unknown at this point.

My horse can still crib through the muzzle. I have gone through 2 of them in the last 2 months, they only last about a week before my horse finds some way to destruct it. The first one he busted the metal bars out of it. The 2nd one he ripped the velco straps off. I wouldn't recommend this product because it is expensive, does not last, and the horse can still crib through it. I've tried everything with my cribber, but this is definitely not the answer.

My mare is allergic to oak and acorns (along with nearly everything else). My pasture has gorgeous oak trees and I was unable to turn her out with the other horses because she would eat the acorns, leaves, and play with the bark. Now she grazes happily alongside her barn mates. Fit well too. She is part draft so I bought the largest size. She can't get her lips around the bad stuff, but the grass is easily grazed through the slats. Thank you Smart Pak!

We have used this muzzle for about 3 years & find that it works better than anything else that we have tried for a difficult, smart horse who can crib no matter what is used. We do replace it 3-4 times per year (he wears out the bars!), but it's far less expensive that the colics we were treating when he was able to crib through the straps. We have two going at all times so we can keep them clean. He has a breakaway nylon halter for each of them and a nice halter for being groomed and trailering, etc. We also tape the velcro straps which helps to keep the stitches from being rubbed loose. I wish the stitching would hold up better and that they would make the bars replaceable or stronger. Our horse has no trouble eating through the muzzle, but I usually take it off for him to eat his grain and replace it as soon as he's finished.

This is the best cribbing deterrent we have used so far. Sadly, the velcro and stitching holding it on are already ripped. He can still crib but not as badly, and can't get enough force to pull fence boards down. Not entirely thrilled with the lack of durability and effectiveness, especially considering the price. Will try to repair it and keep using it.

I recently purchased the Cribbing/Free to Eat Muzzle for my Foundation Qtr Horse. It fits & works much better then the old metal cage model I was using. This one is nicely padded & did not rub the hair off his face or create open wounds. It fits well & allows him to easily eat & drink. I would definately recommend this style to anyone. If I need use of a muzzle I will use this humane model.

My horse figured out how to crib with this thing on. I had it pulled up as snug as it could go and he still was able to flip it on ledges and crib. He also had a very difficult time eating his grain and even his hay with this. It worked for about a day... it's also fairly heavy... would probably work best as a grazing muzzle, but even for that i wouldn't want my horse having to wear it all day. It's pretty ridiculous looking too. Another cribbing bust! although I did purchase cribox after this muzzle failed thats also offered on this site for my cribber and it works awesome. Highly recommend it!

I bought this muzzle to be used as a grazing muzzle. The grill at the bottom of the muzzle allows my horse to still graze a little bit and not be so frustrated. So far, its working great.

I bought the cribbing muzzle/free to eat because I was worried about my barrel horse. He would stand in one place and crib all day (even with the miracle collar, nutcracker, etc) I was at my wits end with him and wanted him to do other things, like enjoy being with the other horses in the pasture. Well it worked for about a 3 days and then he discovered how to hook the bottom part over a corner pole and crib anyway. So, alas I am back to watching him stand and crib anyway. Maybe it would work on a horse that is not as smart as mine, but I feel that cribbers are exceptionally intelligent!!!

My 17hand Thoroughbred windsucks when he's bored... and given his personality, that occurs often. I tried the nylon/web halter version of this mask, and between Huey and his pasturemates, it was torn apart within a few weeks. This mask, however, is still in pretty good shape two months later.
My only complaints are that the bars are starting to bend recently and that I ended up having to duct tape the velcro attachments to prevent Huey's pasturemates from helping him remove it.

Really, overall, a great, effective product. Definitely the best solution so far.

My horse (Boomer) nearly destroyed the nylon webbing on his muzzle in less than 2 weeks. He turns his head side-ways and grabs / cribs on the side of our run-in shed through the webbing. Also, Boomer is unable to get to the food around the edges of his corner mount feed bucket, and gets extremely frustrated trying to grab hay from his hay rack. The manufacturer needs to go back to the drawing board. I'd be happy to let them test new models on Boomer!

The cribbing/free to eat muzzle works. The horse was able to eat his grain and hay through muzzle without problems. He could also graze in paddock without cribbing on the fense post. It works perfectly for a cribber who needs to add weight. It's been on for four days and so far no rub marks like a cribbing strap or collar. The only negative thing about the muzzle is it takes time to velcro it onto the halter but once on it stays and fits well using a regular halter.
