Always have hay available for your horsesHorses evolved to eat small amounts of forage continuously throughout the day and night. How can we feed our domesticated horses the way nature intended?Offering free-choice hay can lead to over eating. And hay that’s fed on the ground can be soiled and wasted.Slow feed netting is proven to manage the consumption of hay. But filling hay bags every day takes a lot of time. And horses often hold their heads in unnatural positions while they’re eating from a bag.The OptiMizer is like a pasture in a box. Clean hay is always available and chewing is significantly prolonged, which supports gastric health.Our research shows that OptiMizers enable natural foraging behaviours. Hay consumption is regulated and horses are content.With an OptiMizer, you can rest assured that you are providing your horses’ hay in a natural and healthy way.Optimize Hay FeedingFor your horses…Clean hay is always availableEating is slow and relaxedHead is down in a natural positionFor you…Easy and fast to refillHay consumption is controlledHay is not soiled or wastedAbout the OptiMizer InStallDesigned to be mounted in a corner of a stall (or shelter, fence corner etc.).
