It also does not interfere with the horses breathing and can remain on the bridle at all times and places no restriction on the type of bit used.
Fully Adjustable and shaped to fit the unique design of the Micklem® bridles, the Net Relief Muzzle Net for Micklem® Bridles attaches to the noseband via hook and loop straps, which allows it to be adjusted up or down, and tailored to every horse.

FAQ's
My horse wears an anatomical bridle with a similar shape to the Micklem® Bridle – will the Muzzle Net for Micklem® Bridles fit?
Yes, while made to fit the Micklem® Bridle, if your bridle is similar in shape, the Muzzle Net should be able to be adjusted to fit.
Can I use the Muzzle Net for field turnout? The Muzzle Nets are made of a fine mesh and designed to be used for ridden work only. For sun protection in the field we recommend the Field Relief Muzzle Protector.
Does the Muzzle Net Filter out pollen? No it does not. It would be impossible to screen out pollen without greatly restricting the amount of air the horse can breathe. This makes Net Relief Muzzle Net suitable for use by competition horses who have to exert themselves in order to perform.
How does the Muzzle Net work? The success of half nets suggests that they do not actively filter out pollens, the holes are just to big. They may work by distorting the airflow through the nose, or distract/comfort the horse.
