Learn about the physical, mental and emotional benefits of eating in a natural grazing position & more when you feed your horse from the ground.  1) Natural Wear of Teeth & More A natural grazing position allows the mandible (jaw bone) to come down and forward in the atlantoaxial and temporomandibular joints. This alignment:
2) Less Strain on the Skeletal System & Soft Tissue A natural grazing position puts less strain on the skeletal system and soft tissue because a horse is designed to eat with the head down.  3) Relaxed Mental & Emotional State A horse’s emotional state is reflected in body position and posture. If we require a horse to eat with their head elevated, we are encouraging an alert and tense mental state. 4) Better Peripheral Vision Ground feeders such as the Standard Ground Hay Pillows and Mini Hay Pillows® do not impair the horse's peripheral vision. If impaired, this can create tension psychologically. Horses are prey animals and depend on sight and sound to detect predators. 5) Better Respiratory Health Enables nasal passages to drain effectively thereby minimizing the inhalation of dust and particles. 6) Keeps Hay & Dust Out of Eyes Eliminates the risk of hay and dust falling into your horse's eyes.

You can view our online store at https://www.thehaypillow.com/online-store.html. You may want to consider bale nets and add Hay Pillows in addition to encourage movement!

What about horses with shoes on? Won't they possibly paw and get the pillows caught on their shoes?

Great question. From all product pages for bags/nets used on the ground: Please note: Due to the dangers involved in using any mesh material that can potentially get caught in a horseshoe, this product should not be used on the ground by shod livestock.

I’d love to put Hay Pillow in my thoroughbred’s stall. My horses stay in Poland and I haven’t seen any alternatives to standard hanging bags. I love the natural grazing concept of Hay Pillow! Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
