This video gave me hope that trail riding with a sturdy, grazing-focused, assertive horse could be less of a battle and more fun. It also helped me understand what to expect when the horse first has the Munch-N-Done on. I enjoyed the voice over. I have a mustang who came to me with the assumption that the purpose of trail riding, at walk and trot, was so that he could sample grass along the way. Not just an occasional reaching down when standing still, he would abruptly stop from a trot and start to graze if the grass looked especially good. I found that I was never able to use a soft rein when on trail because he would grab the reins from my hands and graze. I ended up needing the 'deep muzzle" version which is what it looks like Henry has. thank you for this video, it is very helpful.

This is great, I'll pass the website on to my local riding school. They do hacking and unfortunately some of the horses have learnt to grab at garden plants as they pass! They go through a narrow village to the green to canter. Unfortunately the horses can tell when someone inexperienced is riding them, and they take full advantage! it got so bad in the summer that one of the horses ate someone's rose bush before it could be urged to move on, and another time an ambulance had to stop and the driver get out to help! Fortunately wasn't on an emergency and was good natured about the horse blocking the lane to eat shrubbery! They will be delighted to find this simple solution. Horses are so strong.

Oh how funny, thanks for sharing those stories! I see that with children who come here to ride - I might convince the horse that I want to ride without snack stops but the horses know too well that the children are often not experienced or determined enough! Hoewever nice and gentle my horses are, when it comes to food, they can be so inconsiderate!!!

That's one determined (and strong) horse! I can only imagine, how frustrating it must be, trying to fight with him over that issue. Glad, he adjusted to the muzzle so quickly. Looks like a neat and comfortable solution for both horse and rider.

I don't know much about horses and their needs etc. But that doesn't mean that it isn't all very interesting. I like learning about their behaviors and their likes and dislikes. It looks like Much and Done® know what they're doing. It looks like they know horses. I wonder if Donkeys behave the same way? Well it goes without saying that I really enjoyed this episode Sandra!

I once was on a 3-day ride with a woman who had taught her horse not to graze when wearing his bridle. So when we had breaks, she had to take the bridle off and put a halter on, otherwise he wouldn’t eat. These look very comfy for the horse!
@WayOutWestx23 жыл бұрын
That's a cool trick to teach a horse. Only that mine are of a certain personality that would remember and co-oprate for about a minute, or whilst I'd keep reminding them and praising them, and then they'd just put their heads down anyways!

You could try an anti grazing rein , just a bit of rope or strap that stops him reaching down, google for a picture. It might be a lot easier for both of you.
@WayOutWestx23 жыл бұрын
Good idea, but I actually have tried a variety of different reins and contraptions and was amazed at the enormous strength in Henry's neck and shoulders - no bother for him to break various attachments to just get to those few blades of grass. That's why I arrived at the muzzle....

Isn't it dangerous to prevent the horse to put its head down? In case he stumbles he needs to move its head for balance..
@WayOutWestx23 жыл бұрын
Yes, you are quite right. That's the problem with those anti-grazing reins, that they wont allow the horse to stretch his neck fully ever - like you say, quite dangerous when they need to use their head to catch their balance.
