Stable Hay OptiMizer
A revolutionary, durable slow hay feeder, that is quick to
fill and wastes less than 1% of hay

Paddock Blade, the world's leading name in paddock cleaners, trusted by thousands of satisfied customers worldwide, is now in partnership with the makers of Hay OptiMizers in Canada. The OptiMizer has been available since 2019 and is safely used by thousands of horses across North America. We are proud to expand our range with high-quality, Canadian-built slow hay feeders.

Key Features

● Easy to Mount: The stable feeder is designed to be mounted in a corner of a stall, shelter, or fenceline. Mounting guidelines and fasteners are provided

● Daily Capacity: The OptiMizer can hold up to 15 kg of hay, enough to keep most horses content all night long

● Safe and Durable: The manager is made of the same durable polymer used to make playground equipment (LLDPE). All the corners are rounded or bevelled, making the surfaces smooth for safety

● Quick to Fill: Smooth, one-handed operation quickly opens the horse-proof latch and closes the feeder

● Slow Feed: OptiNet slow feed netting has been designed specifically for equine use. It’s knotless, thick, and durable, yet it’s gentle on horses’ mouths and teeth

● No filling nets: The netting is held in place over the hay on a stainless steel assembly. It hangs inside the feeder and drapes over the hay from the top to the bottom as the hay is slowly consumed

● Drainage: 1 hole in the bottom for cleaning. It can also be used to soak hay before feeding

Dimensions

• Length and Width: 75cm X 75cm
• Weight: Approximately 14 kg when empty

4 Net Options

● The standard is 4cm – This works great for the vast majority of horses
● The large is 6cm – Consider it for poor doers
● The small is 3cm – Consider it for easy doers
● The UltraNet feels like cotton when it is in use and shrinks from 4cm → 3cm in areas of high use. It is made from ultra high molecular weight Polyethylene and is 15 times stronger than steel. Consider it for horses that are particularly hard on nets

Feeder Height

● The feeder is designed to be mounted in the corner of a stall, fenceline or shelter. The feeder is 56 cm deep and can be mounted at any height for optimal feeding

Benefits For Your Horses

● Slow, Natural Feeding: Clean hay is always available. Eating is slow and relaxed. Horses’ heads are down in a natural position
● Content Horses: The netting provides positive, relaxing oral stimulation and is gentle on lips, gums, and teeth. Horses take small bites, chew thousands of times a day, and are content

Benefits for You

● Save Money: Less than 1% of hay is wasted. Consumption is controlled, and hay isn’t soiled or wasted
● Save Time: Feed less frequently, easy and fast to refill
● 11% hay savings compared to standard hay nets
● Hay Can Be Soaked in the Feeder: Simply plug the drainage hole, add hay and water, and place a bucket under the feeder. Pull the plug, drain the water, and your hay is soaked in place
● No Assembly Required: Each OptiMizer is shipped fully assembled
● OptiMizers are durable and safe to use
● Content Horses: They have something to do, are less anxious, and reduce problematic behaviours like cribbing, weaving, and stall walking
● No Wasted Hay to Clean Up: Stalls are cleaner with little to no hay to clean up

Warranty:
● 5-year warranty on the plastic and stainless steel components
● 12-month warranty on the Ultranet
