Hi everyone, I live in Washington State and during the months of March and April my fjords are kept in large dry lots (sacrifice paddocks) because the pasture is so muddy, fragile, etc during this period. I have been following the posts with interest regarding the portagrazer, nibblenets, and other devices and have been hoping to find something that works for my small herd. Two weeks ago I purchased two 4 x 4 slow grazer boxes and absolutely love them. The fjords cannot open them, have not chewed on them, and actually seem to like the challenge required to get the hay out. I have always weighed my hay so that I know exactly how much I am feeding and it is taking them 4-5 times longer on average to finish their hay. When given the option of a loose flake or hay trapped behind a grate they seem to prefer having to pull it thru the grate. If you are interested, check the link www.slowgrazer.com <http://www.slowgrazer.com/> My only regret at this point is that I only purchased two boxes, and wish I had purchased three while they were here at the State Backcountry Horseman meeting.
