Thank you everyone for the info! This has been really helpful.
@hokie98 Agree with you on the hay nets - my mare shakes hers pretty violently too to get her hay out which I’m sure isn’t good for her neck. I tried double-netting to slow her down and it didn’t at all, I’m assuming because she’s learned to shake it.
Teeth was a concern for me as well, as I have heard differing opinions. It sounds like it can be really horse-specific, with some horses good about pulling out of feeders like the Helix with their lips and more aggressive eaters using their teeth hence the teeth issues.
That’s an ingenious idea with the corner feeder though, I’m not sure if BO would be ok with something like that but I think it’s definitely worth a try. I might give the Helix a try first since it’s relatively inexpensive compared to others and just see how my girl does, I think worst case scenario it becomes something easy for me to just take along to shows.
@scislandsprite that’s helpful to know as well! I think I would definitely have to attach it, my mare has a run attached to her stall and I would be worried about her tossing it around and it rolling to a neighboring horse’s run.
@Gardenhorse that’s a great tip about the stacking!
Thanks everyone.
But try the Helix, it may work great for you. Best of luck!
