Review on 🐴 Derby Originals Superior Slow Feeder Hay Bag: Durable Design with Super Tough Bottom & 1 Year Warranty by Cristina Zane

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Super strong but not PS resistant.

The straps are really thick but don't expect them to last a full year. In half a year the horses managed to tear the straps across and one side seam was completely torn, but I sewed them up again with bale twine, which we have no shortage of. But horses are destructive, so I expected damage. They must be made of Kevlar to be truly horse resistant. I'm replacing them now and hope they last a little longer this time but at least they keep the hay off the ground and slow the eating so the horses have to work for their hay instead of breathing it in. Belts are better placed closer. around the corners (hint, hint). Velcro - is it really for a horse? My nine month old foal figured out how to take it apart on day two! Now that I've been using them for almost a year, I really like them. They're pretty tricky to fill with large flakes (100-110 lb bales) - two will stubbornly fit, but there's no way three will fit together unless you have 40 lb bales (sorry, we have them here). I started attaching the D-rings to opposite sides of the bag after filling so they stay closed so the horses can't put their heads in.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Appearance
