The Best Slow Hay Feeder for Your Horse
Whether you're looking to manage your horse's weight, mimic natural grazing, or need to replace your worn hay nets, we have the perfect solution. These hay feeders promote a healthier digestive system, reduce boredom, and minimize hay waste. Say goodbye to messy hay nets and enjoy the benefits of a slow feeder designed for your horse's well-being.
Benefits of Slow Feeding
- Less Contaminants: Keep hay off the ground with a slow horse feeder to reduce contaminants like sand, manure, soaked bedding, rocks, and parasites.
- Natural Grazing Position: A slow hay feeder allows your horse to forage in a natural head-down position, creating correct jaw alignment & chewing motion.
- Enrichment While Eating: Create contentment and calmness for your horse with a slow feeder. Eliminate boredom, nervousness, and frustration as they eat.
- Increase Feeding Duration: Prolongs feeding about 4-10 times as long by using our slow hay feeder.
- Less Wasted Hay: No more seeing your costly hay disappear in the wind! Using a slow hay feeder for your horses means less stomped-on hay and more time spent riding.
Features
- Large Capacity: The Savvy Feeder holds 4-6 flakes of hay, that's roughly 18-22 pounds.
- Easy to Transport: Our hay holder is incredibly easy to toss in your horse trailer for trips at 25lbs and 24" tall.
- Incredibly Durable: This slow feeder is made of a strong, slightly flexible high-tech poly material. Even North Dakota winters won't break this down – and horses won't chip their teeth on the grate!
- Safety Above All: The slightly flexible grate is designed to give way if your horse gets a hoof caught. It'll pop out of the hay feeder when it reaches breakaway pressure. While no feeder is 'fool-proof,' we've strived to make this one the safest possible. Our herd uses Savvy Feeders 24/7, 365.
How to Choose a Grate Size
Unlike hay nets, with a slow hay feeder, choose a grate size based on your hay type, not on how much you want to slow down consumption. Soaked hay typically requires a larger grate size.
Tip: When in doubt, go with the larger grate size. Your horse will adjust more easily than if they're frustrated by a grate that's too small.
Narrow | For Fine & Chopped Hay
2.25" x 5" size openings for super fine grass hay such as Coastal Bermuda, Teff, early brome, chopped and bagged forage, extremely fine alfalfa and fine hay that is conditioned. Not for soaked hay.
Original | For Most Cool-Season Hay
Our original grate size with 2.75" x 6" size openings for most cool-season grass hays such as Timothy and Orchard and some finer grass alfalfa mix hay. Not for thick, stemmy or coarse hay.
Wide | For Coarse & Long-Strand Hay
3.25" x 6" size openings for alfalfa and alfalfa mixes. (Due to the leaves on the alfalfa, these types of hay can compact very easily and a large grate is recommended; especially when starting a horse on the Savvy Feeder). Also use a large grate for other stemmy hay such as peanut, and long-stranded hay from a large round bale. The large grate is beneficial for older horses who have difficulty grasping hay.
Color & Materials
This dark gray color hides dirt well and goes with anything! Made with high-tech, medical-grade polyethylene, our slow hay feeder will stand up to extreme conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I need a different grate size?
We offer free grate exchange within the first 30 days of your order. If the grate that you ordered is not working or if you need a different size. Just order your replacement grate online and we will reimburse you when the original grate is shipped back to us.
How long do the grates last?
Our horses have been using the same grates on their hay holders for the last 3 years. However; if you ever need to replace a worn grate we offer replacements of all sizes.
How does it work?
The grate floats on top of the hay and goes down as the horse eats. The grate is held in place by heavy-duty fabric. This unique process has granted us a patent through the US Patent and Trade Office.
How much is shipping?
Fed Ex shipping right to your door (or barn) for $45.00
How much hay does it hold?
Approximately 18-22 pounds of hay (4-6 flakes of a 2-twine bale). Your horse doesn't need that much per feeding? No worries - just put in the amount of hay that your horse needs. It works just as well with 5 lbs of hay.
