Stubbs munch station.

I would be concerned that a foal could get its foot through the bars, having had a big horse injured by getting stuck through its door, totally different but the resulting injuries have finished his jumping career, I wouldn't risk similar happening to a foal, using this is avoidable, having a door is not!
I would probably consider using one for a yearling but would just let a foal eat off the ground, especially its feed having a manger that high is not good for them.
 
Thanks. Im trying to find out what width it is between the bars. I've considered it for our 6 year old as hes a nightmare with his buckets.
 
If you are really wanting something like that then a corner manger and hay on the floor would be the same action. :)


Ditto be positive though and I'd either put it straight on the floor or in a rubber skip.

It says 55mm, 21/2 inches, probably fine for an adult but a foals foot at an angle would possibly go through. If I have one that is really bad with feed buckets I use a large rubber skip, the bigger the better or just tip it onto the floor, I have done this and find they gradually get better and will start to use a bowl properly again.
 
I use one for one of my horses having acquired it cheaply and I really like it. The bars gap is safe and small and there is a plastic slope at the bottom so all the hay is accessible. It takes up little room and keeps the hay very tidy. I don't use the corner manger in the top, but you can slow down the feeding of hay by inserting one so hay is only accessible through the bars.
I also use hay bars and traditional mangers for the others. I am pleased with those too.
 
Thanks. I cant put the hay on the floor as it ends up all over the stable in minutes. And he scratches on just the corner manger and breaks it. Thats why I considered the munch station as it looked sturdy
