Licol - Premium Breakaway

I'm so sorry to have to report that my horse got this muzzle off within a couple of days, and then again a couple of days later after we re-adjusted it. It was lost in the fields, and only recently found a bit mangled up. I bought the GG halter and fitted it to my horse according to the directions, but no dice. It's quite the contraption to put together, so when GG offered to help me add addtional straps around my horse's neck, I was quite honestly, brain fried. I coudn't justify adding more and more expense, time and effort to work with the muzzle, and so it sits on a shelf. For what it's worth, it is a very sturdy and well made muzzle -- a lot of thought went into it, which I respect.

I live in Kentucky and have a mustang—already a recipe for disaster come springtime in the bluegrass. He is quite the Houdini, and green guard muzzles plus the neck strap have been the only thing to consistently stay on his head while also being limiting enough to keep him from foundering! Absolutely worth the price!

The front strap is great, my horse has yet to pull the muzzle over his nose. He does, however, have rubs across the bridge of his nose and where the side pieces and buckles touch his face. It would be really nice one day to have something that doesn’t cause rubs. I’ve put fleece on the parts of the halter that rub, time will tell whether it helps or not. Other than that the design is great and material is great quality. For reference my horse stays in his muzzle overnight, usually for about 12-14 hours at a time.

Not long ago I purchased a halter but I needed one that could connect you a muzzle! Unfortunately our 7 year old quarter horse was putting on a little more weight than he should! He had a hoof issue and the vet said he should lose about 200lbs! He's been living the high life and our farrier, who use to be a champion barrel racer, told us our front pasture was way too rich for him. And to complicate matters, he had a small vertical Crack in one of his front hooves! Long story shorter we had to get a muzzle on him!to slow his eating. We got a muzzle to go with the harness! Bottom line, we couldn't get him to wear it and attempting was too stressful. GG allowed us to return the harness and the muzzle, no questions asked! Definitely a 5 star experience!

The halter is a game changer. The only think my mare doesn’t like is the “halter forelock hair”. The front strap messes up “her look”. I’ve been telling her that a svelte body will attract more geldings than a pretty forelock.
All kidding aside, the halter fits perfectly and is easy to use.
