HayGain/Easy Grazer or similar

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

Does anyone use a hay gain or eazigrazer or similar in their stable to feed hay from? I hate haynets but if Dex has it on the floor he kicks it all through his bed and doesn't eat it so I was looking at one of these.

I am worried I'm going to pay £300 for something he's going to break in 2 mins flat, or refuse to put his head in, or I can't get enough hay in to last him all night.

The plastic insert in the haygain specifically looks quite flimsy...

I've been looking at the Stubbs Slo grazer. I think they look quite good but would like to see one in reality.
I'd prefer it square really though to fit into a corner neatly.

We have Eazigrazers in the shelter but prefer haybars in the stable.

I got one of these for the field and stable, game changer for a ginger who loves to drag her hay around , comes with an attachment to fix it to the stable wall. its really handy to wheel out to the field for daytime https://www.haycube.co.uk/shop/

Ooh I quite like this one, looks a bit more sturdy.. doesn't look very big though?

Charlie's owner has easigrazers. All the rest of hers are fine. Charlie however worked out how to take off the "lid/colander", figured how to tip it up, and kicked a hole in the bottom...
It's been heavily secured (through the hole he made), and we don't bother with a lid anymore.
It does help contain the hay and means he eats it all.
Personally I'd have something square and a more flexible plastic though

It's bigger in real life (if you know what I mean ) and really sturdy. You can pack it with hay or put less in and leave it quite loose. My girls not a big eater so I couldnt say what its capacity is, theyre helpful if you message. I got a black Friday deal £148 with free delivery. Its been a game changer this year. I sound like I'm on commission genuinely just glad not to be wasting such hay/money

Oooh I wonder if there might be a January sale!

I have an Eazigrazer in the stable. I think it's great and does the job perfectly. If you have a horse who likes to batter things with its front legs, I could see how it could be a hassle, but mine has no interest in that. It keeps the hay contained, slows down her consumption, and it's very easy to use.

I don't stuff it within an inch of its life, as I think it works better when it isn't. When she's in overnight in the winter, I add a small haynet. She's a good doer, being PRE, but in as much work as I can give her. When she's in during the day in summer, I only use a lightly stuffed Eazigrazer.

Hi I bought two for the stable. Very robust- one horse chews stable matting, feed bowls etc. Slo grazer is surviving. But the version with holes only does not allow enough hay through for a hungry horse! She pulls hard and the whole things lifts up and follows her across the stable. Very scary! So I had to cut large slots between the circles. Now it works perfectly. REgulates hay. Good grazing position. Grid no longer gets pulled out on occasions. Takes a large amount of hay. Very pleased now!!

How big is it? I cannot work out from the online photos? Does it just sit in the corner or is it fixed somehow? Cobs will be swapped to being in during the day soon and this looks like it would work well? Thank you

Which one TamaraS? the Stubbs round one? I've still not bought one.

I * think i'm just going to get the regulator for my haycube and see how that works out.
