610H12-Horse Covered Hay Feeder
A 6’x10’ covered horse hay feeder for up to 12 horses at a time.
It can be tricky to feed hay to larger groups of horses outdoors. Between rainstorms soaking hay and dominant horses chasing others away, it’s tough to find a safe and efficient way to keep the whole herd properly fed. When we designed the 610H horse feeder, we wanted to create a covered horse hay feeder that would solve as many of those problems as possible.
First off, we knew we wanted the 610H to be a covered horse hay feeder. When feeding large hay bales, whether round or square, it’s essential to keep them dry. If a large bale gets wet, there’s the potential for dangerous mold growth. As horse lovers, that’s not a health risk we want to take with any of our animals. Having that in mind, we built the 610H with a 29-gauge galvanized steel roof, with overhangs to keep everything nice and dry.
Secondly, we wanted to minimize feeding-related aggression between horses. Aggressive behavior means a less safe feeding experience for everyone involved: both the herd and the person feeding. Upright bars around the perimeter of our covered horse hay feeders help cut back on that type of aggression by marking off a space for each horse where they can eat in peace. (For an option that slows feeding even further, check out our SF series slow hay feeder.)
The 610H covered horse hay feeder comes with a 6’x10’ trough, perfect for holding hay bales while your horses clean them up. A gate (with a horse-proof latch) on the side of the feeder allows easy loading right from the tractor seat. The 610H can handle two 5’ round bales or one large square bale at a time. From protecting horse health to saving hay to reducing labor, this is a feeder that does it all!
