Customer Reviews for Equilibrium Net Relief® Muzzle Net

Equilibrium Net Relief® Muzzle Net

Net Relief? is one of the most effective ways to control head shaking. Net Relief? is contoured and covers only the top half of the muzzle. This ensures that it?s not only unobtrusive, but it allows saliva to escape from the mouth and doesn?t interfere with breathing. The muzzle net can remain on the bridle at all times and it will fit any type of bit and noseband. Net Relief? attaches to the noseband via adjustable hook and loop straps. The nets are easy to replace and refills are available in the pack. Packs include 3 nets in Black, Brown or White.

"The summer of 2012 is my horse's 3rd summer with allergies and headshaking. During the summers of 2010 and 2011, I was utterly unable to ride my horse through his constant, and chronic sneezing and dangerous headshaking. Thankfully, a local trainer heard about my horse's symptons and thoughtfully recommended the Equilibrium Net Relief Muzzle Net to me. Today was my first ride with the nose net, and I am so happy to report that my horses sneezing and headshaking was completely abated. Yes!!! During our ride today with the nose net on, my gelding initally sneezed 5 times as I walked him during his warm up. Although he sneezed 5 times, there was absolutely no headshaking! Then like magic after his 5th sneeze, his sneezing completely stopped and we rode successfuly (walk, trot, canter) for the first time in 2 months. Most importantly, during the entire ride, he never shook his head. I cannot tell you the miracle I feel we've experienced with this nose net. I would highly recommend this nose net to anyone who has lost hope of being able to ride their horse through seasonal allergies and headshaking. P.S. The trainer who brought this nose net to my attention uses this nose net successfully on an upper level dressage horse that has year round headshaking."

"I got this nose net for my TB gelding who is missing part of his nostril and it causes him a little discomfort in certain conditions. It seems to help a lot, and is extremely easy to use. The white doesn't show up too much on my flea-bitten grey gelding, either. The only problem I've had thus far is on of the nose-nets ripping after a month or two. I rinse it off with water after every ride, but the net material seems a little plasticky and brittle.
It is also a great deal for three nose-nets for about 11 dollars each! Especially with Smartpak's free shipping!"

"I was having trouble with my horse this summer, while I was riding in the afternoon. He was shacking his head so bad I couldnt ride him. My dressage trainer and I decided to try the bet relief out. All I can say is IT REALLY WORKS! I really hated spending that much money on something so simple but it did its job and I am able to ride my horse again."

"My horse developed head shaking syndrome this June and before our vet even came to evaluate her, she said to get these and try them. They stopped the head shaking. Her head shaking ended up being related to allergies so once she was on medication we could go without the nose net. However, I compete at USEF Rated shows and my horse's medication is a banned substance, so at shows we leave the nose net on till she goes in the ring and put it back on when she comes out. So far that has been working."

"Unfortunately this did not work on my headshaker. However, the quality seemed fine even though it's expensive. Very adjustable for nose length. I ordered the brown for my chestnut and it didn't look too bad."

"My horse, Peter, was rooting at his bit and throwing his head around (not head shaking). He was literally pulling the reins from my hands. We noticed that it started in mid-March. My trainer suggested the net relief and I tried a friend's on while I was riding that day. It almost stopped completely. Now, that I have been using it regularly, Peter is much happier and no more rooting or pulling at the reins. It has eliminated a lot of the dust, bugs and pollen that goes up a horse's nostrils when he is ridden. Think about it! If you are suffering from allergies, chances are your horse is too! I would definitely recommend this product. However, I thought it was far too costly for the material used and the product. You do get three nets in the package."

"Purchased this net after months of desperation, when my mare developed headtossing syndrome. After hundreds of dollars in veterinary and chiropractic care with no cure, I decided to give the nose net a try based upon good results I had read on line. It worked immediately and she has not tossed her head one time since I've been using it. My mare was facing a life as a pasture pet, and now, we are back to enjoying our regular lifestyle of trails and shows!"

"I wouldn't be able to ride my horse without the muzzle net. He has been a severe headshaker for 4 years now. With the net I am able to successfully show him at local horse shows and come home with a champion or reserve champion in the hunter divisions quite a few times. If only USEF would approve this noninvasive (i.e., no drugs) method to comfort our horses at the rated shows! By the way, the benefits for my horse (this may not work for all headshakers) far outweigh the costs of this simple net."
