The Nordic AutoFeed allows you to set the first and last feed time, the number of desired feeds per day, and the hay weight. For example, the first feeding time could be 6am, with the last feed at 10pm. If you were to select 8 feed times and 24lbs per day, the horse would have 3lbs of hay per feeding. At a feeding time, once the horse has taken 3lbs of hay out of the machine, the door will close until the next scheduled feeding time.

Amazing! Bryn, Colby and Lindsay are from BC! 👏👏👏

👏 In recognition of the challenges young riders face as they strive to continue their education while competing at high levels of the jumping sport, the Jumping Youth Bursary was developed for athletes between the ages 14-21 who compete in hunter, jumper and equitation divisions. The program is made possible through a generous donation by Mark Samuel, Kevin Sanford and the Samuel-Sanford family. Athletes are chosen at the end of each competition season.

👏 Notre nouvelle génération d’athlètes doit relever de nombreux défis pour compléter son éducation tout en poursuivant sa carrière en saut d’obstacles de haut niveau. C’est pourquoi les bourses pour jeunes athlètes en saut d’obstacles ont vu le jour, afin d’aider les cavalières et les cavaliers âgés de 14 à 21 ans dans les divisions de chasse, de saut d’obstacles et d’équitation. Ce programme est possible grâce à un généreux don de Mark Samuel, de Kevin Sanford et de la famille Samuel-Sanford. Les bénéficiaires des bourses sont sélectionnés à la fin de chaque saison de concours.

The following athletes have each been awarded $1875 through the Jumping Youth Bursary in recognition of their hard work and dedication // Voici les athlètes qui ont reçu une bourse de 1 875 $ dans le cadre du programme, en reconnaissance de leurs grands efforts et de leur dévouement :
