Hi, in summer one of our ponies wears a grazing muzzle as such a good doer and although his muzzle wrapped in fleece / washed often it has rubbed patches near his nose / he has lost most of his forelock due to rubbing to get his muzzle off - nothing in field to rub on except posts between electric fencing - any ideas only wears muzzle between 6 - 8 hours a day but need a forelock and a face without risking too much grass ! Not my fields and no bare patches or less grass to put him on.

Megatek will help the coat to grow. Put on Vaseline where the muzzle rubs.

Suggestions
Check your muzzel is big enough and not sitting flush to the face. I always buy a size bigger and have ponies with full size on.
Use the muzzel that clips to a headcollar and then have two difference head collars so muzzel not always rubbing on the same place.
Use two different styles of muzzel for the reasons above.
Try the padded seat belt covers, bought cheaply from say Tesco. These are thicker padding and you can just cut them up to suit and they velcro on.
