I have chow hound horses out on a dry lot right now with a hanging 1 inch Cinch chix net, and a 1 or 1 1/4 inch Nibble net. Also a Porta Grazer. The horses emptied the Nibble Net and the Porta Grazer overnight, but the Cinch Chix net is still full. Of course, it had more in it, but I think it is telling that it is the last to empty. Gail Talking: One problem with the really slow feeders is that they stand around a lot because it takes so long for them to eat. . And I think you are in a humid climate where you might not want to put a bale of hay on the ground that would not be consumed in a day or two. Tentatively, my recommendation is to make a couple of my barrel feeders and hang them from posts spread about a little so they have to walk between them. Also, if you are in a sandy area, you have to make certain the fines of the hay that will be knocked onto the ground go onto a surface or into a tub that does not have sand in it.
