Please contact seller --- Many horse owners have been confronted with this question: How can I offer my horse his daily hay ration in a natural eating position without having him waste or spoil part of it? Feeding on the ground lets the horse eat in a natural and comfortable position. But horses tend to move and paw and end up mixing the hay with shavings and dirt. So they are more likely to eat bedding and usually refuse to eat part of the hay because it got spoiled. Hay racks keep the hay clean and off the ground, but the horse has to hold his head high and often twisted in order to reach the food. Standing in an unnatural position for a long time can cause tensions and back problems which impair the horse's health and riding performance. In addition, when the horse pulls hay down from a rack, dust and dirt can fall into the nose and eyes, which can result in respiratory problems and eye infections. Eating from a rack or net may also cause an uneven wear pattern on the teeth. Hay Bar lets horses eat in a natural position while keeping the hay away from shavings and dirt. The horses can eat with nose below the chest and the cone shape design allows them to set one foot forward. This keeps the back relaxed and the horse healthy. The hay doesn't get trampled, mixed with bedding or spoiled. Hay Bar can be used to feed dry or rinsed hay, as well as hay cobs or haylage. Manufactured from high density Polyethylene with a reinforced top edge, the Hay Bar has been proven to be extremely strong. The material yields when a horse kicks it, which minimizes the risk for injuries. This product is rust proof, rot proof, durable and easy to clean. A cut-out in the bottom allows dirt and dust to fall to the floor. It can even be hosed or wiped off with water. Patented design. Size when installed: 31"x31"x37" high. Easy installation in a corner of the stall (fittings not included).
