Just received an e-mail on a new product we may bring in at Co-op. It's an outdoor hay feeder, that can hold 1 round bale or about 20 square. Going to attach the e-mail, and try to attach a picture. Take a look, let me know if anyone is interested! __________________________________________ Keep your hay fresh, cool and dry at all time ! New & improved Xactics horse feeder made of first quality polyethylene resin treated against UV rays. Can feed up to 8 horses at the same time and will reduce bullish behavior less stress at meal-time. All 8 openings are well rounded and soft in order to prevent the brake of the mane. Once assembled, the Xactics horse feeder can accept up to 20 small square bales or 1 large round bale. Easy to assemble and to handle. You will save up 30% on hay feed expenditure and up to 50 % on your handling time. Nominal dimensions s: 84’’ X 72’’ X 76’’ Attachments:

I think they're a fantastic idea, separates cranky eaters, keeps the hay out of the weather (wind or rain/snow). The only thing I, personally, would add is probably a pallet underneath to keep the hay oft the ground, but I love them! It's looking like the price is going to be $820.00, but if we get a lot of interest we may be able to do better. Personally, I love it so I thought it would be worth sharing!
Another cool idea, if we get enough interest, we may be able to sell them as halves. They recommened using it either way. If you have a smaller turnout area, area against the barn/building, you can bolt it on and use half as a feeder for fewer horses. Also works great if you can position against a window and put the feed out the window right into your feeder!

I'd be afraid my horse would spook or look up suddenly and bash her head. Haha It is a good idea though
