How often should I clean the muzzle?

Clean the muzzle after each use or as needed to remove grass and debris. A regular cleaning schedule will extend the life of the muzzle.

What material is the muzzle made of?

The Shires Comfort Grazing Muzzle is made from a combination of rubber, nylon, and anti-chafe padding.

Is the D-ring strong enough for leading?

Yes, the D-ring is designed for attaching a lead rope for leading the horse.

Can I use this muzzle with a halter?
