How does it work?

Historically we work our horses until they relax.  Now we can relax our horses before beginning to work with them.

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

The Busy Buddy stimulates the relaxation process in all horses. We believe this is the most profound product for the health and well-being of horses introduced to the equestrian world.

How to fit your ThinLine Busy Buddy?

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.

The Busy Buddy should be sitting just below the crease of the mouth. Not too tight otherwise it’s associated with a bit and is not a relaxation tool. You want it to sit just on the tongue low enough that they feel the urge to chew. I’d say a finger’s width or just below the crease is good. No wrinkles should be seen.
