Question 1

I recently got a mare who eats everything in a few minutes and need a slow feeder for outside use. Does this bag need to be hung or can it be left on

Accepted Answer

I prefer to feed my horses on the ground rather than hang a hay bag. I tie this bag short to the fence with the long rope so my gelding won't move it all over the paddock, strewing hay as he goes. A full bag holds between 2/3 and 3/4 bale, depending upon the bale size, and will last him 24+ hours. He's prone to ulcers so must have hay 24/7. I love these bags. I bought two when they first came out, and now I believe, they've come up with a way to close the open edges after you lace it up. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more.

Question 2

I am looking for the original bag which has the rope to weave through the opening.  Does this bag have the rope?

Accepted Answer

I purchased this bag in 2015 & it does have a rope attached to one side to weave to other side to close the opening up.

Question 3

How many flakes can fit in here?

Accepted Answer

I load the bag FULL with at least 2/3 of a 60 pound bale â" don't know how many flakes because they vary from bale to bale. This bag lasts my 16.2 appendix gelding a good 24 hours. Of course, he doesn't eat 24-hours a day so is the equivalent of four feedings (we feed three times a day).

Question 4

Worried horse/pony can get a hoof caught in it?

Accepted Answer

The openings are probably too small for a horse. I don’t have a pony so I am not sure. I hung it with 2 eye hooks at the top and secured it with one eye hook on the center bottom. I used caribeaners to attach to the eye hooks. This makes it really easy to fill with hay and keeps it about 8” off the floor. It has worked really well for my horse. Good luck.
