How it works

Understanding hay feeders

The practical principles to understand before comparing individual equipment.

Step 1

Forage held above ground

The feeder contains hay in one place so less is mixed into mud, bedding or the surrounding surface.

Step 2

Weather protection

Covered versions shelter the forage from the worst of the weather when horses are fed outside.

Step 3

Managed group access

The size and number of feeding positions are chosen around the horses sharing the feeder.

Suitability

Who should consider it?

Suitability depends on the individual horse, the yard setup and how often the equipment will be used.

Before you buy

What to consider

Horse numbers

There must be enough safe access for the group, including horses lower in the field hierarchy.

Capacity

Match capacity to the ration, refill routine and the number of horses rather than simply choosing the largest feeder.

Site and movement

Consider how the feeder will be filled, moved and positioned as ground conditions change.

Edges and openings

All accessible parts need to suit equestrian use; model-specific details are confirmed before ordering.
