#33 Best Horse Hay Feeder Ever | At The Ranch

Horses are not the neatest eaters. Alec shows many reasons why his model H-8 "hay-saver" round bale feeder is perfect for his horses and Winnie the donkey. Oops: Alec meant it weights 1,000 pounds at time stamp 7:05, not 200 pounds.

Your horses (and donkey) are beautiful. The location is stunning and I can't wait for September 👍

[@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch]

Yeah Peter. We're getting excited too. You need to send me your address and phone number. I'm really hoping that we're somewhere close enough and with time to stop for a visit. [e-mail] Alec

[@GorgyPorgy65]

That's a beauty !~ I could do with 10 of those !

[@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch]

I really like mine, so do the horses and donkey. They do make bigger models if needed. A

[@GorgyPorgy65]

@@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch How much was it ? Could ponies reach it ?

[@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch]

My donkey Winnie can reach it fine. Should be no problem for ponies. A

[@TheViking34482]

Could you tell me what the spacing of the leaning bars and how tall they are Thanks Bert

[@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch]

They are spaced about 6" apart. That's enough for the horse to pull a mouthful of hay through but not enough for them to grab a lot and toss it about. I'm guessing at their height but I'd say about 5 ' tall. I'm 5'10" tall so you can judge from that. Take care. Alec

[@TheViking34482]

Thanks for your reply is that 6" center to center or in-between

[@Horselings]

It is always recommended to have bars far enough apart for a horse to be able to remove a hoof if one goes between the bars. It's crazy what horses can end up getting themselves into, and if a kicking up hoof somehow gets between the bars, it needs to be able to slip out easily. Not sure that's the case with this one, but could be widened in others.

[@bfromhold]

@@Horselings - That’s been a concern with the Klene Pipe feeder I have (same exact one in this video). I’ve had mine for nearly 10 years with no issues (thankfully), and I’ve had up to 5 horses eating from this feeder all at the same time.

[@thenewhiredhand771]

Do you take the baler twine off before the horses eat the hay? Looks like the baler twine was still on the bale of hay.

[@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch]

Sometimes it's left on to keep the roll together a bit longer. Horses know not to eat it but as its 100% hemp twine, no problem if they do.

[@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch]

We try to take it off. It doesn't matter since the horses don't like to eat it, but if they do, it decomposes. However, a bigger danger is them getting caught in it, particularly their feet. It will not break, so if the horse struggles, it can cut their ankles.

Ware can l get them ?

@@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch this is a great video! Thank you! I have to buy one of these!

[@TyGouldJacinto]

How are you keeping them from dropping so much hay outside the feeder? We cannot figure out how to fix this.

[@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch]

There is still a bit of hay pulled out & dropped but it's a lot less than with a traditional tombstone-style feeder. Lately my wife has been restricting access to the feeder in an effort to control the amount the horses eat and to conserve hay. We've noticed that the horses clean up around the base of the feeder while it's closed, a benefit that we didn't expect.

[@daisyjuliefreedom]

Great idea, smart gal!

[@GorgyPorgy65]

@@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch Yes, that's what I do with my messy horses. I take away access and they go around and clean up the dropped hay. I do it daily so the dropped hay doesn't get walked on too much.
