How the Litebite grazing muzzle came to be
Hi, are you like me and have a pony that just won't stop eating? She is my dream horse but it is so difficult to protect them from themselves and laminitis, but most grazing muzzles are hard and horrible. My Skye did get fat, she is a good doer, yes my fault, I hardly noticed as it was gradual, but one awful day she came in lame, hopping lame and the vet said 'laminitis'
I had no idea how bad this was going to be, what has her diet got to do with her feet anyway? Well I know now, it's everything to do with it. So began the huge learning curve which I hope never happens to you, it was beyond awful.
When she was eating too much I did try lots of different pony muzzles but she hated them and wouldn't eat, hence I invented this new soft, flexible muzzle: the LiteBite pony muzzle which worked.
Are you worried about your overweight pony? Act now before things go really wrong,
I can't tell you how awful laminitis is, now Skye is thinner and back in work but it took a year of hope and anguish. Don't let this happen to you.
Let this kindest of soft, flexible grazing muzzles keep your pony safe, full money back guarantee if doesn't suit. Celie.
PS. Some of the images above are of a different colour muzzle, it is now WHITE as per top pic of Skye wearing it.
Top Tip - I don't know why we didn't think of it before, but to introduce them to eating with the LiteBite: Be standing on grass. Attach muzzle to headcollar. Smear some Lickit, honey or similar inside on muzzle floor. Put muzzle on. As they push down to get Lickit, some grass will pop through the slot. They just keep going. The Lickit left on the muzzle will just wash off.
What's new about this muzzle?
What's so good about it?
1. Soft on teeth grazing muzzle
2. Totally flexible, squidgy
3. The Litebite horse muzzle moves around with eating, flares out to match your halter noseband so doesn’t rub
4. Innovative grazing slot allows natural bite so much easier to eat through but they don't get much.
5. Muzzle grazing slot can be made bigger, it is supplied very narrow
6. Soft material is kind to teeth
7. Can’t eat out of the sides with special Houdini straps, you can try without some or all of these later if want, adjust the muzzle to suit
8. Plenty of airflow you can make more but probably don’t need to
9. Velcro easy adjust, all sides can be independently lowered/cut to fit
10. Easy sizing due to flaring muzzle design
11. Easy drinking, slot allows a good draw and just drains out when finished, doesn't go soggy
12. Shape of grazing slot means they can still groom each other
13. Very strong soft material, light weight
14. Easy clean, water just drains out, bits don’t pile up inside
15. Dries quickly, doesn’t hold water and get soggy and heavy
16. Food safe material
17. Most ponies just eat almost immediately with the Litebite horse muzzle, no miserable “I can’t eat” faces for longer than you can stand (see left)
18. Most ponies can eat long or short grass, pick in hedges
19. Material reduces sun impact, pale colour whereas black holds heat
20. Guarantee 12 months
Think you need to give this soft grazing muzzle a go?
Your horse will thank you and you will feel much better.
Sizes: as the flare out of the muzzle matches the round of your halter noseband, it has plenty of room to move about when eating, it is supposed to move around so they don't feel trapped.
NOTE: Halter not included.
Order a larger size if not sure. You really must use a field safe headcollar even though the Litebite horse or pony muzzle velcro will give if caught up
Measure around nose 1 inch below cheek bone:
Pony 14 - 16.5 inch, 10 to 13hh approx, average small pony.
Cob 17-22.5 inch, my 14.2hh Connemara is Cob
Horse 23-25 inch, bigger headed cobs, warmbloods.
Mini under 14 inch
We haven't found any horses or ponies that can't get on with this new soft horse or pony grazing muzzle.
Take a look and try it on your fatty, full money back without fuss
if it doesn't suit or work for you - PS: it will work though!
It's lovely to watch Skye just eating, nibbling at the hedge and grooming her friend, your fur baby can do this too, what's to lose? Give it a try, can't in all conscience say they will 'love it' but they will not resent it so much, that I can say.
Skye being a model
Here she is happily eating, showing her Litebite horse muzzle and losing weight, I will enlarge the grazing slot when she is slim enough. Just love the crunching sounds.
