Well Done! You brought up all my concerns. I need to muzzle my fat horse. Unfortunately, they are all full time field horses. The herd bully, old rotting fence, concern for what grasses come up through the muzzle and observations of actual grass gorging have made me not use one. How do we, therefore, save our horses from laminitis?

Thank you so much for all your knowledge… I have a really fat Shetland on new pasture… we are in England… it’s ankle height grass.. he can still eat through it, it’s a Velcro one… I’ve left it on since yesterday as his so fat.. He won’t go alone in the stable and I think he would gorge and get laminitis,his about 27 now…

Thank you Mizztree, he should be fine on ankle height upright grass (with a muzzle), good luck :)

How can you tell when the grass is the correct height??? My grass is about ankle to knee high depending on type and the place in the pasture. My wife insists that I need to mow the pasture SHORT with the mower.... and then buy lots of hay (tall grass!!!) and this seems insane to me. Especially since short grass is known to have a lot more sugars... which is what we want to keep him off of. He is not even remotely overweight yet... but the vet insists that we restrict all grass intake... and that he will be fat and or founder easily. Our pasture is mostly warm season annuals and perennials like Bermuda grass (good type for horses). We just got our first horse, and I will have it in the same pasture with my cattle. He is an easy keeper and so we want to go the grazing muzzle route.
