Corner Hay Rack: Space-Saving and Clean Feeding in the Box
Make the most of the space in the horse box. Discover robust corner hay racks made of galvanized metal for clean, slow, and safe hay feeding.
Corner Hay Racks: The Space-Saving Solution for the Horse Box
If the horse box is rather small, every centimeter of floor space counts. A classic wall hay rack can quickly protrude into the way and hinder the horse when turning or lying down. The perfect alternative is a corner hay rack. It makes optimal use of the dead space in the corner of the box and thus creates noticeably more freedom of movement for your horse. At the same time, it offers all the advantages of professional roughage feeding: It isolates the hay from the dirty floor, prevents the ration from being trampled, and significantly reduces hay costs.
Longer Eating Times Thanks to Bars
A healthy horse stomach needs continuous occupation. If hay is simply thrown on the floor, many horses gorge their ration far too quickly. A corner hay rack is equipped with a sturdy feeding grid. The horse is forced to pluck out the hay blade by blade. This artificial slowing of feed intake effectively prevents boredom, gastric ulcers, and colic.
Maximum Safety in the Corner
Because corner racks are mounted flush in the 90-degree corner of the box, they offer the horse hardly any surface to rub or get caught on. Made of solid, hot-dip galvanized steel, our corner hay racks are absolutely bite-resistant, rust-proof, and extremely durable. Rounded edges and cleanly finished welds completely eliminate the risk of injury.
Frequently Asked Questions
At what height is a corner hay rack mounted?
The mounting height should depend on the size of the horse. It is optimal if the top edge of the rack hangs approximately at the point of shoulder of the horse. This allows the horse to eat in a natural posture. If the rack is too high, hay dust falls into the nostrils; if it is too low, the horse could get its legs caught in it.
How much hay does a standard corner rack hold?
A normal-sized corner hay rack usually holds enough loose hay for a generous night ration (about 8 to 10 kg). Due to the funnel shape of the corner, the hay automatically sinks down as it is eaten, so that the horse can easily reach everything.
Is the grid spacing safe for ponies?
The grid spacing is usually 5 to 8 cm. This is absolutely safe for full-sized horses. For very delicate ponies or foals with small hooves, however, you should make sure that the rack grids are not too wide so that a hoof cannot fit through if the animal paws while eating.
Galvanized Corner Racks for Small and Large Boxes
Feeding hay from the ground often leads to large feed losses, as the roughage is quickly trodden into the bedding. With a corner hay rack, you offer your horse a permanently clean feeding place and save money. Due to the clever mounting in the 90-degree corner of the box, the rack does not protrude into the room and leaves your horse the full area for lying and relaxing.
Our corner hay racks are made of durable, hot-dip galvanized steel and are designed for the harsh everyday stable environment. The firmly welded bars force the horse into a slow, species-appropriate feed intake.
