Comes with standard 1.6” OptiNet
Finally, a slow hay feeder for the stall that both you and your horse will love
The OptiMizer InStall is like a “pasture in a box” for a horse. It is a durable slow feeder that can hold up to 25 pounds of hay, enough to keep most horses content all the time they are in their stalls.
In a study comparing the amount of hay used in OptiMizer InStalls vs. hay nets, there was an 11% savings in hay with the OptiMizers. And the horses always had hay left in their OptiMizers in the morning, and were more content than with their hay nets.
The OptiMizer InStall was designed to be mounted in the corner of a stall and measures 29″ by 29″ and is 22″ deep. The mounting height is up to you, based on your horses’ requirements. OptiNet knotless netting drapes over the hay as it is consumed slowly through the openings. The netting is mounted on a stainless steel assembly and it just takes two fingers in the horse proof latch to open and close the net.
The OptiMize InStall has one drainage hole for cleaning the feeder. The InStall can be used to pre-soak hay prior to feeding. Simply use a sink plug to plug the drainage hole and place a bucket under the InStall to catch the water when you pull the plug. The InStall can be used outside mounted in shelters or fence corners. A second 1” drainage hole may be needed to ensure adequate drainage if the OptiMizer InStall is out in the rain.
