The Hay
Bar
The Hay
Bar offers a practical solution to being able to
provide hay/haylage in the stable so you feed as
nature intended which is better for your horses and
easier for you. The Hay Bar is safer than using hay
nets or hay racks and is easy to fill thereby saving
time and labour. The hay bar is made from extremely
durable high density polyethylene with a reinforced
top edge, it is rust and rot proof and should give
you many years of trouble free service.
The Hay
Bar stands about 3 feet of the floor; the top edge
takes about 30”
of wall space, 20” of floor space and is designed to
take a full bale of hay at a time.
It is very important to feed in the natural feeding
position to ensure that the jaw has the correct
alignment which ensures even wear on the teeth and
as a result helps to avoid many of the dental
problems. The correct position aids the respiration
as the airways and the sinuses drain down.
The
natural posture also helps the back muscles and
helps youngstock to develop correctly. The feeding
position also stops ugly muscle from developing
under the neck and helps to form a correct top line,
which in turn helps the horse to work in the correct
outline. Horses in their natural environment are
grazing animals and it is imperative that we
simulate these conditions for the stabled horse.
Dry hay, soaked hay and haylage are all suitable and
if you feed soaked hay just fit your Hay Bar an inch
or an inch and a half above the floor and then the
excess moisture will drain away.
