Maybe you could figure out a way to make it so the horse cannot constantly lift up the inner bucket and let it bang down repeatedly? My neighbor uses these and the banging is very loud and annoying. I have been told that she cannot leave hay in there constantly (in spite of your advice) and I'm not about to debate the issue since I am not a horse owner. So I assume when the hay is gone from the bottom, the inner bucket can be lifted and then allowed to drop in a vain attempt to find more hay? Or maybe just entertainment?

These actually look better than the UK equivalent known as Eazigrazer. At least it alters depth. I still question having to keep their head up in order to eat t though. Sure they've got head down but still at a certain level. However, this is no doubt better than what I do which is feed them on 3-4 ft round biles so this is why I'm looking into things like this.

Hmmm....🤔 Will this wear down the enamel of their teeth at all? My guys paw and have torn up the garden tubs with their hooves. Granted, that's think plastic. Will the Porta grazer stand up to a little abuse like that?

I really like what I'm seeing, however, after looking at the price points- a little out of budget for 3 horses right now. But, looks like a really nice product!

Bought a PortaGrazer recently for feeding chopped hay product (specifically Triple Crown Safe Starch Forage). Working great. Thanks for a great product.

Does it have a plug at bottom to allow filling and draining water? It would be a nice feature for those of us who have to soak our horse's hay for Insulin Resistance.

How do they work with hay chafe? I need to slow feed hay to my laminitic IR horse, but the Safe Starch forage product is a hay chafe. Regular slow feed hay nets don't work well because the hay chafe is too short and falls out. -- Like to see a video of using a hay chafe and if a horse would just tump it over and hay bits fall out or if works well.

LindyTN- This is a video of the original Porta-Grazer... It had a lip locking system that kept the pan in even when rolled about. The 2nd generation has a tab locking system which allows the pan to extend above the lip of the barrel allowing more hay yet keeping the pan locked in.. As for using outside in the rain- all models have a drain plug...We recommend to simply taking the plug out to allow any rain to be able to drain out. you can see more info and the different models at our website www.porta-grazer.com

I do not see how that pan inside would not fall out with the horses knocking it around or if they turn it upside down. would not be able to use it outside in the rain, it would fill with water. But I like it, if the pan would not fall out of it. One of my horses would definitely play with this.

good hay dont get bad in a few hours if raind on. but if your afraid of water ,, just drill a few small holes in the bottom of the bucket,, but most horses actually loves wet hay... many owners soak ore STEAM the HAY BEfore feeding if the horse have problems with hay dust if the hay is too dry... here in norway where it usually rains longer periods we use simular buckets but usually we mount them inside a shead so both the hay and the horse can stay out of the rain-wind in some of those sheds they have bedding but usually the horse have bedding at the main stable for sleeping

300 dollars? That's too expensive to save the hay. Hay is only 3 euros a bale here. I can buy a hundred bales for that. OH well.

While it does eliminate hay waste, it also treats and prevents impaction colic, sand colic, insulin resistance, founder, gastric ulcers, and more. It also allows your horse to graze as nature intended. So many digestive ailments can be prevented simply by feeding a horse like a horse. One trip to the vet can easily be more expensive than the cost of a Porta-Grazer, which starts at $239.

This video is of the original Porta-Grazer™ The 2nd generation has added locking system on top of what the 1st generation already had, as well as being able to hold more hay. We also have a mini model, traveling models, and a soaker model as well. Check out our website at www.porta-grazer.com to see all the models and options.

The prices for the feeders are less than 300, unless you add optional water lid to the one model. As you can see in the video they are designed to tipped over without the hay dumping out. If you read thru the testimonials youll see many people thought the same thing as you but have found out otherwise.

The pan has to be balanced and centered to be removed. The newly released XL model has a tab and notch locking system to keep the pan in. This allows the pan to extend out the top of the barrel maling room for up to 40% more hay than the original Porta-Grazer™

28 lbs. of plastic, rated to 50 below zero, 75,000 UV protection. This kind of quality will pay you back many times over. Over two years and none have been broken. The average hay savings from our customers is 25%. If you are throwing 25% of your hay away... that's expensive. Built to last !
