I use three at a time and plan to get a couple more (so there is one for 
each horse) because the bermuda we've been getting lately doesn't want to 
stay in a flake.

It's reallly easy with these Grasspers to pick up loose hay also, with a 
scooping motion, and then it's kind of fun to fling it over the fence into 
their big rubber feeders.

(OK, so almost anything to do with my beloved horses amuses me!)
