How you feed affects your horse

How you feed can affect your horses conformation. When the horse eats with its head in an upright position it hollows the back. Which transfers the body weight to the hind quarters. This will result in the hind legs being placed further back than normal. So stress is constantly being applied to the back and hocks. This can also cause neck issues from the constant twisting to get the forage. Also, dust, hay and debris can fall into the eyes. Using a Porta-Grazer your horse grazes with its head down in a more natural weight bearing stance... Pic credit to Deborah Moy

How do I get the pan in or out? All Porta-Grazers have a key hole in the side wall of the pan-For the XL and Mini model you point that keyhole at the handle that has the arrow. For the corner just point it at the one handle..

Feeding straw mixed with your hay can reduce the calories while providing volume your horse needs. Using Porta-Grazer to simulate grazing gives your horse the ability graze without letting them sort thru the hay to pick out the tasty sugar first. A study done using barley stray is in the link.

What can’t they do? 🤣

Porta-Grazer™ can help prevent and treat laminitis by simulating grazing at a natural pace while not allowing spikes in the sugar level. When dealing with laminitis or founder many people try to restrict the horses volume of forage (in an effort to reduce the sugar / calories), which can lead to ulcers. Instead of reducing the amount of hay fed you need to regulate the sugar/calories IN the hay you are feeding.

What’s convenient for us isn’t always what’s best for our horses. Throwing a couple flakes over the fence twice a day as we head to work or get home is nice for us... BUT horses are designed to graze 24/7... With Porta-Grazer your horse can graze all day and night as nature intended while still being convenient for the people doing the feeding... AND Porta-Grazer eliminates hay waste!

Love seeing the hay dust circles on the ground 😂 where they’ve been tipping their Porta-Grazers up on end to shuffle the hay about! No hay lost, minimum mess!

Wont my horse get fat if I free feed?
Not if you feed a low calorie type forage. When free feeding you do not regulate the volume... Horses are designed to have forage 24/7 to buffer the stomach acid that runs 24/7. You regulate the calories IN the hay that you feed. Regulating the calories is how you control weight. Even minis can free feed this way. Each horse has different calorie needs. Meet those needs by the type of hay you feed. A low calorie grass hay is better for the horses digestive system than to feed 2 or 3 meals of high calorie hay where the horse goes long stretches with nothing in in its gut.

Our nutrition expert offers advice for ensuring free-fed horses don't overeat hay.

Will my horse eat "slower" if I use a smaller hole pan?

The Porta-Grazer is not designed to force your horse to "slow down" or make a small amount of hay last all day. The Porta-Grazer is designed to allow your horse to graze naturally.. There is nothing natural about forcing your horse to try and get its forage from tiny holes.

The pan is designed to lift and hold the hay so the horse can size and tear off bites same as if grazing on pasture. Using the proper hole count is very important.

By trying to use a pan with smaller holes than is called for will force the horse to eat down thru the holes. This will cause damage to the pan over time. Not to mention cause frustration and anxiety for your horse.

When a horse stands for long periods of time with no forage the stomach acid builds up. Since the stomach acid runs 24/7 they need forage 24/7. Having no forage available when they need it can lead to gastric ulcers.
