IN the artificial environment of the stable, it is common practice to feed large meals, two to three times a day which can overwhelm the horse’s digestive capacity. Studies show that horses are required to be fed regularly, more than three times daily. Depending on your lifestyle this may not be feasible.

Simplefeeder is an automatic horse feeder that aims to improve your horse’s welfare through frequent feeding. It can be programmed to dispense feed up to eight times daily. Uniquely, the feed amount can be programmed to deliver from as little as a few grams up to 3kg per feed. The existing Simplefeeder range can be centrally controlled by a bespoke programmable logic controller which stores the programmes and data for all feeders on the yard, offering additional reliability and flexibility.

Benefits of Simplefeeder:

  • Feeding “little and often” for ulcer control.
  • Owners are aware of exactly how much feed the horse is eating.
  • Convenience factor.
  • Simplfeeder will provide late feeds/early feeds for horses prior to competition.
  • Anti-boredom device for horses on box rest.
  • Reduction of feed wastage/spillage.

    • The Simplefeeder range is able to dispense all feeds produced by Ireland’s main feed providers (Gain, Red Mills, Blue Grass & Pegasus). The dispenser is extremely durable, impact resistant and weatherproof, allowing it to be used in both internal and external stables thus ensuring a long life. The dispenser is easily and securely fitted to the outside of the stable, either through the cavity wall or the stable bars.
