Hi was just wondering if anyone has used them and if you found them to be safe or any other feeding options that aren’t haynets that you have found to be safe Thankyou
Parrlax hay saver, safe way of feeding?

Yes I have one, they still manage to waste a fair bit of hay but it's now on its 3rd year and I've never had any worries about safety

We use Eazigrazer barrels. They are not perfect but we chose them after doing a lot of research, especially into safety, and they work well. We have 4 in the field shelter for 2 horses living out 24/7.
We didn't want something that the horses could stand in.

They look great for what I need them for actually what size do you have I prefer that there is no edges either xx

How much hay would you say they hold? Not enough for one night sorry for all ?

Yes, the no edges and too high to stand in easily were what swayed us. We give out hay at least 3 times per day but I think we could get a night's worth of hay for 1 horse in 1 barrel if we needed to.

PaS, do you secure the Eazigrazers to something or do you have them freestanding?

I used one for a while and was happy with it overall. You can fit loads of hay in there if your horse needs a lot. A couple of times I found it tipped up in the middle of the stable floor and suspect my horse must have had his foot in it. It's reasonably high though so I think he must have tried hard to do that and he obviously managed to get himself out again afterwards.
I also like hay cubes as they attach to a bracket on the wall so can't be dragged around the stable. They don't fit as much hay in as the hay saver but you can probably cram enough in for most horses. The flip side is they take up less space in the stable as the hay saver is massive!
