Phoebe Needs This

This is retired racehorse Funny Cide outfitted with a grazing muzzle in his new home at the Kentucky Horse Park. He is still able to eat through a hole in the bottom of the device but he just eats more slowly and less.

The idea is to limit his caloric intake as well as to prevent laminitis which is sometimes caused by ingesting too much fresh spring grass.

Thanks to photographer Sarah K. Andrews for the photo and Fran Jurga for noticing it.

I wonder if they make a similar device for dogs? I think I know a golden retriever who could use it.
