The ThinLine Busy Buddy (the equine pacifier) is the ultimate relaxation tool for horses. Developed for horses of all ages, young and old, to help provide instant and drug free relaxation. The Busy Buddy promoted calmness and encourages your horse to relax without the use of supplements, medications, twitches, etc. When horses are relaxed, we see gentle chewing, licking or saliva. Properly activating the jaw generates relaxation throughout the horse's entire body and brain. The Busy Buddy stimulates this, and allows horses to slip into a gentle relaxed state.
Halter Busy Buddy:
- Stops fretting, biting, and kicking in the cross ties.
- Provides horses with a relaxing toy during clipping and grooming.
- Gently introduces the sensation of a bit in the mouth while encouraging relaxation and chewing.
- Pacifies horses’ for the vet, without using sedatives.
- Entertains horses during farrier work.
- Used while lunging; encourages relaxation of the jaw and muscles over the back.
Bridle Busy Buddy:
Is specially designed to be used with a bridle and a bit.
- Young horses learn to relax and “chew” when introducing the bit.
- Older horses relax their top-lines faster when warming up.
- Entertains your horse while standing around at horse shows.
- Relaxes them on trail rides for a better experience.
- Lunging in a bridle? Add the Bridle Busy Buddy for more relaxation.
Bridle Busy Buddy arrives with 2 different attachment styles. We have found the position of the Busy Buddy can have a large effect. Some horses respond really well to the higher position (with the S hooks) and some like it lower. Play around with it and discover where your horses’ sweet spot is.
Made of industrial, hospital-grade Latex tubing, ThinLine bit guards, elasticized rope, and 2 clips for the Halter Busy Buddy or two rings, S hooks, and Velcro for the Bridle Busy Buddy.
Fit:
The Busy Buddy should fit loosely in the horse’s mouth, it should not pull the corners of their mouth. Find the position where they begin to chew.
