This is the definitive tutorial for setting up your GreenGuard Grazing Muzzle and attaching it to your GG Equine Premium Breakaway Halter. Stickers, straps, the whole 9 yards. Note that the GreenGuard Grazing Muzzle comes with straps only. Everything else featured in this video is sold separately. Links to every product below. If your pony needs it all, here's how to set it all up.
In this video guide, Kara shows you how to completely set up your GreenGuard Grazing Muzzle and halter. If you take the time to set up the entire rig at home, once you get it to your horse, it's more about making fine adjustments.
Kara's horses are Houdinis and run with a herd that plays rough, so this tutorial sort of envisions that as the baseline. That means she is taking every precaution to make sure the muzzles and halters are set up to stay on under all conditions. She's also dealt with nose and chin rubs, so this set up is also geared toward their protection and prevention.
Take and leave what you want and what you feel is necessary, but this video gives you the total package when it comes to the GreenGuard Grazing Muzzle. That's why it's as long as a sitcom episode.

I am moving my mustang mare from Illinois to Kentucky. She is going to be on about an acre size paddock with grass along with 3 other mares. I will need to use a muzzle on her since she is an easy keeper but I was wondering if it would be a good idea to introduce her to her field mates without the muzzle so they could figure out herd dominance and pecking order. I’ve never used a muzzle before so I would love all the help I can get! Please respond! Thank you!

This is a great question! I would definitely leave the muzzle off when first introducing everyone so they are all on a level playing field. After that, it really depends on the horse. I feel like most horses settle in after about half an hour to an hour or so. If they are getting really picked on and run around, I might leave it off a little longer, but if they seem to be settling I wouldn’t hesitate to go ahead and start using it. My horses are out in a large herd, several of them have muzzles and several do not and they still play hard, mutually groom, and get along fine with everybody. Each herd is different. If you run into any issues, reach out to our customer service email support@gg-equine.com

Where did you purchase the extra velco side straps, and the velco keepers? I have a Houdini as well. Pam

Hello Pam! If you're in the US, you can buy them directly from GG Equine: www.gg-equine.com/collections/all-products/products/gg-houdini-helper-corner-straps?variant=39255141580869. They are sold out at the moment, but if you enter your email, you'll get a notification as soon as they're back in stock. Otherwise, send an email to support@gg-equine.com and our customer service rep can tell you what kind of velcro to buy and you can get it pretty much anywhere!

You should include all the extra straps that you’re recommending with the original purchase.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I know why she is using an old muzzle. The new straps are so stiff it’s really really hard getting them through the keepers. Really difficult. I’m on my third set up and not happy so far
