Here on Northern Gaits, we have our first "maintained" horse. One of our brood mares aborted a foal, foundered and then became pregnant again. She delivered a beautiful palomino colt in December but now we have to contend with the founder issue. She doesn't know when to stop eating!!! In order to have her out in the pasture with her mates as well as to give her foal a chance to roam the open pasture, we have started using a grazing muzzle. We bought a nylon/stainless steel/velcro muzzle but it just isn't holding up. So far she has broken it twice. Once she stepped on it and the other time she used the other horses in the pasture to rub/eat it off. We keep getting it fixed because it is just the right solution for her. She gets to socialize as well as letting her colt run free. I just wished they made the muzzles better!! Karie
