I had to make the decision to sacrifice some breakaway ability, for staying power- this muzzle is on a 6-year old Shetland stallion, who is pastured with my super dexterous Thoroughbred gelding. He gets it removed every night for 8-10 hours in his stall. The velcro crown attachment is double-wrapped with Gorilla tape. I clip all snaps with the openings facing the horse’s skin. Furthermore, I wrap the collar around the crownpiece (the collar attaches with a single bolt snap).

This! I use show steer neck collars that have a dee ring on the off and near sides, and I actually use double bolt snaps to keep it on. Unless your guy has a very thick throat, you should be able to keep a neck collar on & attach muzzle/halter to it. The 2 that I have in the GG teeth are good so far and they don’t seem to have issue with it or try to remove it. Those of you who have the GG, it wears down their teeth, any problems or recourse except a different one? Wished I has spent the money in the first place for one, but the cost at first put me off!!! One is kept as a spare, as I board, so if she comes in without the GG, there is one to put on until I can get up and find the other one in about 10 acre field, with long grass, last year, that was fun, in the rain, but rode her around till I found it!!! It is the Raspberry coloured one!!! My husband made a disc of plastic on his CNC machine, which we attached to the bottom, with a smaller hole, but debris got in between and fermented in the hot weather, so had to replace it. I also have had Best friends, with the holes wore thru. There is also a brow and and up to recently had the Tassel fly mask to help keep it on. She does periodically get it off, she loves to roll!!! The clip on the halter is done up on the crown piece buckle, which makes the halter tighter. My 24 year old Paint mare is on her second year of a GG.
