Are you continuously feeding your horses and/or ponies?
Do your equine friends always seem to be hungry?
Do they lose their condition rapidly in winter?
Are the small square bales too labour intensive to feed out?
A "Waste-Not" Horse Feeder will solve your problems!
The "Waste-Not" Horse Feeder is an adaptation of
the very successful "Waste-Not" Freedom
Feeder used for feeding hay, silage and other feed stuffs to cattle.
A "Waste-Not"Horse Feeder is a static feeding ring mainly
designed for using hay bales. Made from high tensile galvanised steel, they are able to be handled
by one person and a ute, as a tractor isn't always necessary.
The Horse or pony quickly learns to lift it's head over the top of the vertical hoops and lower its
head into the Feeder. The Feeder than acts as a mini head bail, which reduces the head-waving that
they use to tease the hay apart.
While the animals are eating, hay, particularly leafy parts fall down, and are trampled into the
ground or blown away by the wind. With a "Waste-Not"Horse Feeder the
leafy parts are caught by a galvanised steel skirt, allowing the animals to receive all the good bits
of the hay.
The circular Feeder allow 15 animals to feed at the one time, or feeds a mob of 25+, with a round
roll lasting 3-4 days.
The square Feeder (styled on the Classic “Waste-Not” Stockfeeder) has
20 feeding spaces and can hold 2 round rolls (4x4) or the big square bales (8x4x4, 8x4x2, 8x3x2). This
feeds a mob of 40+ horses with bales lasting 4-5 days instead of 1 day.
