Plastic Round Bale Hay Feeder... (French members?)

[CastleMouse]

I saw one of these in a French magazine a while ago, and was wondering if anyone knows where I can view one online (on an English or French site). I can't found the magazine unfortunately, but it was a white plastic round bale hay feeder with a "roof". It's made especially for horses, and I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction

Hi, yes I see similar ones made of steel bars here in France, but they only seem to be round bale feeders(probably for cattle), with a clear sheet on top either side, to give a bit of shelter.Best one I saw was located on a concrete pad.Dont know what the name is, sorry, but sure you could google(perigourdine), (Gamm vert), or similar retailer. I think they are very dear though, we looked at them when we first came. We now put a round bale under a polytunnel.Horses quite happy with that.You could try asking on Equine On Line France or Total France.

Thank you for your reply JCWHITE

The steel ones are easily found everywhere here in Ireland, but I'm interested in the plastic ones which I've never seen over here. I've looked on several French sites such as these two - http://www.entrepot-du-cheval.fr/listing_prod.php?Rub=505&r=mat%E9riel+de+prairie&s=Ratelier and http://www.agrileader.fr/notre-catalogue...n-sur-commande/ but they only have metal ones.

Nope

They were basically like a metal round bale hay feeder, but they were white plastic with a small "roof". Thanks anyway

Hi I saw a plastic ring feeder at a local tack and feed merchant, did not see that it had roof though.

this is the shops website - though not uptodate but you could call them and find out who makes them,
