Do you need the Halter Busy Buddy or the Bridle Busy Buddy?

This depends on the situation in which you want to use the Busy Buddy;

What is the Halter Busy Buddy?

• Stops restlessness, biting and kicking during saddling or grooming
• Provides them with a relaxing toy during clipping and grooming.
• Gently introduces the feeling of a bit in the mouth while encouraging relaxation and chewing.
• Calms horses for the vet, without the use of sedatives.
• Entertains horses during the farrier's work.
• Used during lunging without a bridle; promotes relaxation of the jaw and muscles across the back.

What is the Bridge Busy Buddy?

• Specially designed to be used with a bridle and bit.
• Prevents horses from chewing on those expensive reins!
• Keep your horse entertained while waiting for horse shows.
• Do you lunge in a bridle? Add the Bridle Busy Buddy for more relaxation.

How does it work?

Traditionally we work with our horses until they relax. Now we can relax our horses before we start working.

When horses are relaxed, we may see gentle chewing, licking, or saliva that looks like foam. We discovered that activating the jaw generates relaxation throughout the horse's body and brain.

The Busy Buddy stimulates the relaxation process in all horses. We believe this is the most profound equine health and wellness product introduced to the equine world.

What is the ThinLine Busy Buddy made of?

Made from industrial, hospital-grade latex tubing, ThinLine bit guards, elastic rope, and 2 clips for the Halter Busy Buddy or one clip and a ring for the Bridle Busy Buddy.

What size do you need for the Busy Buddy?

Halter Busy Buddy,

• • 18″ – 71,12cm length
  • 10″ – 25.4 cm in Latex

• Available in 1 size – 1 size fits all

Bridle Busy Buddy

• 19“-48.26 cm length,
• 8 ″ - 20.32 cm in Latex.

Can you adjust the length of the Busy Buddy yourself?

Yes, that's possible! If you need to shorten the length, simply remove the hook with pliers, cut the rope to the perfect length and reinstall the clip. For minor size adjustments, we recommend adjusting the halter slightly higher or lower.

How do I fit the ThinLine Busy Buddy?

The Busy Buddy should fit loosely in the horse's mouth, it should not pull on the corners of the mouth.
Find the position where they start chewing.

The Busy Buddy should sit just below the crease of the mouth. Not too tight, otherwise it will be associated with a bit and is not a relaxation tool. You want it to sit just low enough on the tongue that they feel the urge to chew. I would say a finger's width or just below the crease is good. There should be no wrinkles visible.
