General Info:

The Natural Feeder keeps hay off of the ground and helps prevent your horse from ingesting dirt, sand, urine, rocks and other debris; this can greatly reduce the chance of sand colic and other gastric disturbances. The Natural Feeder fulfills your horses need to graze when free range forage is unavailable. It also allows your horse to eat with his head lowered in a natural position. The Natural Feeder is a convenient, time and money-saving aEUR~trickle feeding' system that allows horse owners to make hay consistently available. With two average 1,000-pound horses and one 50-pound bale of hay, the hay will last approximately 16-24 hours; if no other forage is available. Confinement, stress, lack of grazing. Our domesticated horses tend to live in a world far removed from what Nature intended. Equine nutritionists and veterinarians agree one of the biggest mistakes even conscientious horse owners make is not having forage consistently available. When horses can't graze, they need some type of long stem forage. The horse produces and secretes stomach acid all the time. When the horse has an empty stomach - a common occurrence with modern horse keeping - that acid eats away at the stomach lining, causing painful gastric ulcers. The Natural FeederA does more than make hay available to the horse all day long. It provides a safe and convenient feeding method that mimics the relaxation of continuous grazing. This greatly reduces stress, which, along with digestive upset, is one of the primary causes of colic. Unlike aEURoeslow feedaEUR
