There are few things as frustrating as seeing piles of wasted hay on the stall or shelter floor. We all know that hay isn’t Why Choose a Hay Hoarder Slow Hay Feeding System? cheap, but it is necessary to keep our horses in good health – es- pecially through the long winter months. The Hay Hoarder Slow Hay Feeding System checks all the boxes – it’s easy to fill, has a high quality slow feed hay net, is built to last using durable steel construc- tion, and helps save on hay waste. It’s the whole package! Slow feeding mimics grazing, which is what our horses would be doing 24/7 if they had the option and the forage available to do so. Given the opportunity, horses will actually regulate their forage consumption on their own, but if forage is restricted, it tends to cause unnecessary stress. And, we all know stress can be a nasty business where horses are con- cerned, and can create all sorts of health and behavior issues. When used correctly, slow feed hay net systems, like the Hay Hoarder, can help reduce stress and encourage horses to eat less, while still having the unrestricted access to forage that helps keep them healthy and happy. While there are many slow hay feeding systems out there to choose from, the Hay Hoarder checks all of the boxes when it comes to the advantages of using a slow feed hay net system.
