Också en variant. Tagen från Cynhias Cooper, Natural Horse World. www.naturalhorseworld.com
"Cara-Lynne from WA shares her hay feeding solution which is working well with the addition of the SlowFeeder haynets.
For safety you need to buy rag wall tyres. Cut, or ask the supplier to cut,
the top rim out so that the lip is only a few inches wide (hence why you want rag wall tyres and not steel belted). This helps keep hay in when not using the nets but the lip isn't big enough for equines to get their head stuck.
We have screwed a short bolt into the thick wall of the tyre to tie
the net in. We also have the tyres on rubber sheeting to reduce them
picking up sand or gravel when eating the "spills". Our property is all
pea gravel. We have found these tyres successful in feeding our small
donkeys, Clydesdale and quarter horse all together without an issue. We got
the tyres free of charge from a second hand tyre dealer and paid him $20 to
cut the rims out. A bargain price as the cutting would be a difficult job."
Just nu fungerar näten sådär, hästarna drar omkring dem i allt möjligt och så snöar de över. Annars är det bra, de har att äta mest hela tiden. Ska fundera på däck nästa säsong om jag inte hittar något ännu bättre tills dess.
