Re: [RC] related to hauling - Karen Sullivan



So far I've been experimenting with jamming a cordura hay
bag into the manger (laid on its back), so they can pluck
hay through the hole, while the rest of it stays secure,
but it doesn't work great (bag often gets pulled up and out).

I'm wondering about sewing some sort of "manger skirt" to
secure over the entire top of the manger, with a slit for
each horse to poke his muzzle through to pull out hay.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

Or does anyone have any other bright ideas about how to make
sure the horses have hay in front of them during the journey -
but without most of it going up their nose/out the window?

Hi Lucy,

Here is my thought with those corner feeders......the fabric ones have three
grommets for clips.
So....take a cheap string hay bag and tie hay in good, then insert in
feeder, and clip very firmly
to the three snaps.  It cannot be pulled up and out, and horses have to pick
hay through the
hay bag......whad to you think?
