Here are a few testimonials from our customers.

Dominant mare looses weight, gets happy and I now have a happy, settled herd after only a month of slow feeding with Freedom Feeders.

I have three freedom feeder small hay nets for my three horses. I cannot believe the change in personality since they have transitioned to the hay nets. It used  to be a feeding frenzy when I fed twice a day with the dominate horse moving the others constantly even though I would put out 6 piles of hay. The dominate mare developed ulcers so I started feeding three times a day and she got fat and was still really crabby. Now, they are all relaxed, and I can fill the hay nets and they have hay continuously.  I have had the nets for less than a month but I am using less hay less because they don’t spread it around and step on it. When I first set up the nets they just ate constantly but now even the dominate mare seems to realize that there will always be food and she is eating less and starting to lose a little weight without me restricting her intake. The other two have remained the same, so I think they are self regulating. They eat for a while and then walk away.  The two non dominate horses will share a feeder and they would never share a pile of hay. They just seem so much happier. I think they were so anxious when they were fed twice a day that they would paw and pace around the paddock, and just about wreck fences. I thought my horses were high strung. They are so relaxed and gentle now. I can’t say enough good things about the change the slow feeders have made in my horse’s lives. I highly recommend them. — Sue

Freedom Feeders help stall bound laminitic horses AND their owner cope with lay-up

“The nets really came in handy this last week when one of my horses developed laminitis from lush pasture and he and his pasture-mate had to go on stall rest for a week.  Fortunately, I had literally just received and hung my freedom feeder extended day nets in their stalls, so my horse and donkey had constant access to small amounts of feed throughout the day.  It was worry free for me and clearly less boredom for them!  Horse care (feeding) and even cleaning the stall was a breeze all week.  Since the horses don’t toss the hay around the stall and soil it,  mucking is quick and easy.  In addition, because I can take the feeders to where I store my hay, fill them,  and then hang them in the stall, I also don’t have a big mess to clean up in the barn aisle after feeding time, and depending on the horse – I only have to fill the bags about every 5-7 days!.  I have already told several of my friends about the feeders and next fall plan to order a couple of the your bale size feeders for pasture use over the winter.  Thanks for the great product and the great customer service. “
Thanks so much!

Freedom Feeder Saved My Horse’s Life… Literally!
Totally love the nets may have saved my horses life rephrase …they did save my horses life, by getting her digestion system working it let her pass a gastrointesinal entrolithsis…about the size of a tennis ball……now my horses are happy and content also…love the nets..
Freedom Feeders are the best feeders on the market!
After years of wasted hay (and money), picking up the daily mess, worries about available feed during storms, and annual spring cleanings of the pasture after the ice melts, we found the Freedom Feeder.  We love them as much as our horses do…   We fill them through the fence from the outside of the pasture (mail slot style) and avoid filling the feeders amidst hungry horses.
Feeding time is a joy with much less work and mess.  Our horses are eating fresh hay all day and night and we are actually saving money!
Thanks for such a great product!

NET HAS SLOWED MY HORSES RATE OF CONSUMPTION DOWN DRAMATICALLY

I want to thank you for your wonderful  product!  My horse eats like he’s facing his last meal, and I’ve been dealing with this problem for over 10 years.

For the last 4 years I have used another net product, which still allowed sizeable mouthfuls to be consumed. The design of your net has slowed my horses rate of consumption  down  DRAMATICALLY!  AND, he seems very happy while withdrawing small amounts from the net, a little at a time.

I purchased the first net three days ago, and went back for a second one yesterday so I can have the next meal always ready to go!

Thanks again,

FREEDOM FEEDERS EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS
I bought the mini-bags at the Equine affaire in Pomona. Best thing I ever bought for my horses. My oldest horse has stopped pacing circles in his stall and everyone else is quieter since he is. Now it takes no time to clean the stalls that were practically “strip jobs” every day. Now I want to get the bigger bags for winter feeding outside when the grass is gone…no more cleaning the feed lot from trampled hay! No more wasting expensive hay! Thanks for a great product that actually exceeds expections!

HORSES NOT BARN SPOILED AND THEY ALL GET ALONG NOW
I will never be without the small mesh Freedom Feeder again! Now, when I am out riding my horses, they are not barn spoiled and anxious to get back to the barn. They no longer have to worry if it is feeding time or if another horse is going to eat their share before they get back! Because they always have food!!!

Also, all of the dominate posturing over food has disappeared. The Dominate and submissive horses now get along, and even eat out of the same net.

LOVE OUR FREEDOM FEEDERS
We sure love our Freedom Feeders! Great news for horses who do not or cannot have access to pasture, like the senior horses in our ‘Golden Years’ program. These net feeders help to simulate the natural grazing environment that is optimal for a horse’s mental and physical health. Restricted free access feeding via Freedom Feeders makes the horse work for his food and causes him to take smaller bites, promoting proper mastication, aiding in digestion, and relieving boredom. Oh, and they save you time and money by reducing feedings and eliminating waste! These feeders are TOUGH, and have withstood several months now of inclement weather and busy mouths nibbling through them. Both the extended day feeders and the bale bags are super easy to use. I just can’t believe we went so long without them!
