A grazing restrictor for attaching to a halter. The restrictor includes a body portion surrounding a central opening. A plurality of elongate segments extend outward from the body portion. The elongate segments have a plurality of openings defined therein. The elongate segments are configured and arranged to be folded upward relative to the body portion to form the shape of a muzzle. The grazing restrictor is formed from an elastic material capable of laying flat in a first configuration and being folded into the shape of a muzzle in a second configuration.
A device for promoting relaxation of an animal includes a tubing member having a first end and a second end. At least one cord is coupled to the tubing member. Fasteners are coupled to ends of the at least one cord and are used to retain the device to the animal. The tubing member is configured to be placed in a mouth of the animal to promote chewing.

A fastener system comprising a strap incorporating a plurality of teeth and comprising a buckle incorporating a plurality of slots. The strap can be engaged by the buckle such that the strap resists disengagement by a separating force applied generally equally across the width of the strap and the buckle, but will disengage upon application of an asymmetrical force applied proximate either just to the top edge or just to the bottom edge of the buckle and strap. The fastener system can be associated with a cuff or other article so as to releasably maintain two opposing side edges of the cuff in proximity to each other.
