The Best Way to Feed Your Horse (According to a Horse!)

Hello, humans! It’s me, Toby, your resident hay connoisseur, back with another Toby Talk. And today, we’re discussing the best way to feed your horse—because let’s face it, nothing is more important than hay.

Now, I’ve eaten hay every way you can imagine—off the ground (messy), in a traditional haynet (frustrating), from a slow feeder (decent but time-consuming to fill for my human), and now, from an EZEhay Feeder, which is, in my humble opinion, the best hay feeder ever.

And I’m not the only one who thinks so! EZEhay just got featured in Your Horse magazine’s Buyer’s Guide to Hay Feeders! 🥳 That’s right, the experts agree that this feeder is a total game-changer.

So, if you’re wondering about the best way to feed your horse, keep reading—because I’ve got some hay-mazing insights straight from the latest issue of Your Horse.

Your Horse Magazine’s Buyer’s Guide: Finding the Perfect Hay Feeder

Every horse owner knows that feeding can be a challenge. Hay gets wasted, feeding takes time, and let’s not even talk about the mess. That’s why Your Horse put together a Buyer’s Guide to Hay Feeders, helping owners find the right solution to make feeding easier, tidier, and more efficient.

They break down different types of feeders, including:

✔️ Ground feeders – Simple but can lead to a lot of wasted hay.
✔️ Wall-mounted racks – Keep hay off the ground but don’t control intake.
✔️ Hay bags – Handy but can be tricky to fill.
✔️ Slow feeders – Great for digestion but often time-consuming to set up.
✔️ EZEhay Feeder – The ultimate all-in-one solution!

That’s right—EZEhay was featured as a top pick for its innovative design, ease of use, and ability to reduce waste while controlling intake.

Unlike traditional hay nets, it takes seconds to fill, keeps hay clean, and lets us horses eat at a natural pace.

What’s the Best Way to Feed Your Horse?

Us horses are designed to graze slowly throughout the day, not eat in big, rushed meals. When feeding isn’t managed properly, it can lead to:

🌾 Colic and digestive issues – A horse’s stomach is small compared to our size, and sudden changes or long gaps in feeding can cause serious problems.
🌾 Wasted hay – Hay on the ground gets dirty, trampled, and wasted (which means less food for me!).
🌾 Messy stables and paddocks – Ever seen hay get everywhere? It’s a nightmare for you, and let’s be honest, we don’t like standing in it either.
🌾 Boredom and bad habits – If I don’t have hay available for longer periods, I might chew on fences, weave, or paw at the ground.

That’s why finding the right hay feeder is so important. The best solution keeps hay clean, controls intake, and makes feeding easier for you humans.

Why EZEhay is the Game-Changer

Since getting the EZEhay Feeder, my human has been a lot happier (and let’s be real, that means more treats for me). Here’s why it works so well:

✅ Takes seconds to fill – No more struggling with haynets! Just pop in a half bale and you’re done.
✅ Reduces hay waste – Hay stays inside the feeder, clean and off the floor.
✅ Comes in two net options – Normal Feed for easy access or Slow Feed for those of us who need to pace ourselves.
✅ Saves time – My human spends less time on feeding and more time giving me scratches.
✅ Great for my health – I can eat at a natural pace without gulping down my hay too fast.

If you’re still using traditional haynets or just throwing hay on the ground, trust me, EZEhay is a game-changer!
