Picture yourself walking your fence line, dropping flakes of hay into a feeder as you stroll by. Sounds a lot better than unhooking hay nets, stuffing them with hay, and hooking them back up, doesn’t it? Whether you have one horse or 30 horses, HayPal slow feeders simplify your feeding rounds with durable, easy-to-use slow feed hay net feeders built for daily use.
Why you might consider slow feeding your horses:
-
Horses spend longer time feeding, less time worrying about their next meal. This equates to fewer behavioural issues.
Using a HayPal slow feeder helps eliminate horse owner stress about who might be feeding your horse. Feeding is consistent when using our hay net slow feeders
-
Save labour, save money.
In the following example, a 20-horse barn feeding three times per day saves 2.5 hours every day when using HayPal slow feeders:
example 1: hand-stuffing hay nets: 3-5 minutes to refill each net and hang it in the stall (60 feeds) = 3 hours
example 2: using HayPal hay net feeders: 30 seconds to load HayPals (60 feeds) = 30 minutes (2.5 hours LESS than hand-stuffing) -
We have been told, and experienced it ourselves, that using a HayPal feeder simplifies chore time. This reduces stress (both yours and if you have staff, theirs).
-
HayPal feeders are built of anodized aluminum and stainless steel, and do not rust. Hay nets are 100% polyester. Our systems are made to withstand the temperatures of Canada and rigors of the horse world. HayPal is a professional system built to last a lifetime.
-
Keep empty hay nets minimum 6” off the ground.
Head angle: Position nets so that the horse’s neck is in a downward angle from the withers
Hay nets are generally not recommended for shod horses. Use at your own risk.
