Slow feeders built in Canada for tough horses and extreme weather.
Slow Feeder Styles
The HayPal product line began when we identified a significant challenge at our barn: How does a boarding facility that is committed to using hay nets to slow feed their horses, economically and efficiently fill 90 hay nets every day? (30 horses, 3 feeds per day, is 90 hay nets!) The 3-feed per day commitment was costly in terms of labour, and an exercise in frustration for staff.
Fast forward to today and there are no complaints about filling hay nets. HayPal feeders are so easy to load.
Today we design & manufacture auto feeders, wall-mounted feeders, fence-mounted feeders, and portable feeders in Kelowna, BC, Canada. Take a look through the options and please contact us if you have any questions. We design, test, source, manufacture and ship directly from our headquarters.
Reasons to slow feed:
-
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. HayPal feeders take the mystery out of how to fee 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 will save 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)
-
HayPal systems literally improve staff morale and will likely reduce stress (yours and your farm help). It’s satisfying to create efficient systems that save both money and time. Your staff will appreciate the systems put in place to reduce their workload.
-
HayPal products are built of anodized aluminum and stainless steel materials. We use only the best materials available, and they do not rust. HayPal is a professional system built to last a lifetime. HayPal feeders are virtually indestructible. They are made to withstand the temperatures of Canada and rigors of the horse world.
-
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
HayPal: Spend less time on your chores and more time with your horses.
