Three years in July and still going strong!

Every month or so I get an email from someone looking for the page of my old site where I described my hay feeder box. I’ve now made a new page on this site where you can learn about why free feeding is better for horses and how I built my box. New Hay Feeder Box page!

But now they just stand at or near the box all day and I want them to move around the pasture. Since our recent move to Myakkahatchee I got them a Cinch Chix hay net.

We hung it in a nearby oak. I’d like it farther out in the pasture and I’m worried this branch might break, but for observation purposes, this is a good spot. So far Jubee is a bit nervous around it because it swings like a punching bag. But it doesn’t bother big ol’ Beau!
