Will my horse actually eat while wearing this?
Quick Answer: Yes your horse will be able to eat with the LiteBite Horse Muzzle. First of all it is soft, smooth and encouraging to bite on and then the unique grazing slot allows a full natural bite and not just a restricting round hole nibble.
Horses are determined animals especially when it comes to food and if they are turned out wearing a grazing muzzle they might at first be perplexed, but especially with a grazing slot, they soon learn that the only way to get grass is to learn to manage it.
Some muzzles are very restrictive and not encouraging to the horse, some are hard plastic and not good for teeth and some offer easy ways to eat out of the sides, others are just rough.
The LiteBite fixes all these problems and almost every horse we have tried it on learns to eat in a very short time, Skye wouldn't eat with all the ones I bought but she learned how to eat with the LiteBite in less than half an hour. It's mainly the slot I think but it also moves around a lot so they don't feel trapped and can move it to get the grass of different lengths.
Definitely worth a try and if it doesn't suit then just return it for a full refund.
All the best, Celie
