The HayBox Battery-Powered Auto Feeder provides a single feed for your horse at any time of day or night.

The feeder is powered by a 12V battery system. It is suitable for fence lines that do not receive sufficient hours of direct sunlight each day. The 12V battery must be charged on a regular basis in a warm (interior) location during cold snaps. Extra batteries are readily available at your nearest hardware store for approx $30 CAD.

Video 1: The HayBox has successfully delivered hay to our post-laminitic mare every night at 10pm since February, 2025, providing the extra feed that she needs for optimum gut health. The HayBox is available with or without a hay net. It can be used with hay, hay cubes and other types of feed.

Video 2: In late November (2025), we popped down to check blankets and found that once again the HayBox had successfully auto-fed our mares. It was great to see the girls enjoying a late night meal. Both of our horses need the extra feed: one had laminitis in 2023, the other is an elderly mare with PPID. Adding this fourth feed has shown improved health in both horses and reduced stress in their humans.
