We do not claim to be experts on animal health. There are, however, many publications that substantiate this belief. See what the University of Kentucky says about Equine Feeding Management.
How reliable is the Stable Grazer?
The Stable Grazer has been very reliable, just see what some of our customers have to say!
How difficult is the Stable Grazer to assemble and install?
The Stable Grazer Generation II comes completely assembled. All you need to do is attach the mounting brackets and handle (included) and secure it to your structure. You will need a drill, 5/16 drill bit and 1/2” end wrench to attach the brackets to the feeder. A phillips screwdriver is needed to attach the handle. There is no power line to run, as the feeder is completely self contained! Please see the Installation Guide for more information.
Are there additional items I'll need to purchase or other costs involved to install the Stable Grazer?
The feeder comes complete, feeder, chute, manger and mounting brackets. Again, no power line to install as the feeder is self contained. You will need some common bolts or screws to fasten the mounting brackets to your structure.
How expensive is the Stable Grazer to maintain and operate and how long do the batteries last?
There are very few moving parts on the feeder to wear, therefore, maintenance will be minimal. Under normal conditions the batteries should only need changed once a year. The batteries are readily available, even at most grocery stores. This should cost less than $1.00 per month!
How difficult is the Stable Grazer to load and operate?
The Stable Grazer is very user friendly. The door pulls down to approximately waist high to load. After loading the gas spring assists in closing. The feeder can be loaded any time, even when it is not completely empty. We recommend the feeder be completely loaded each time. The bottom shelf cam is designed so it will not lock in if the feeder is not in time. If out of time, just push the manual button and the feeder will reset its self. Lock in the bottom shelf and close the door, now the feeder is ready for six more feedings. The timer is easily programmed when to feed each day, and will keep that schedule until you decide to change the feeding schedule.
How many days feed will the Stable Grazer hold?
The Stable Grazer is designed to feed flake hay often and consistently. Variations in hay types and bale sizes make it difficult to say how much each shelf will hold. It maybe only 5 lbs. of loose grass hay or 10 lbs. of tight alfalfa hay. You can program the feeder to meet the needs of your horse and you. Some people choose to feed up to six times a day and others feed three times a day and making it into a two day feeder*. The choice is yours.
How many horses can use one Stable Grazer?
The Stable Grazer is designed to feed individually stalled horses. The natural pecking order of horses will usually limit feeding more than one horse at a time with the Stable Grazer. Only you know your horses and occasionally two horses will feed together.
Can I use the Stable Grazer outside in the weather?
Yes, the Stable Grazer is designed to be used indoors or outside. The enclosure keeps the hay protected from snow and rain until the horse pulls small amounts through the gratings to the manger. You may need to drill drain holes in the manger to allow rain water drain out.
What is the warranty on the Stable Grazer?
The Stable Grazer has a One Year Limited Warranty on material and/or workmanship.
Where can I get help if I need service or technical advice with my Stable Grazer?
The answer to most questions or problems will be found in the owners manual or on
the internet site. If you don't find what you need you can call 800-
How long has the Stable Grazer been in use?
We have been using different versions of the feeder since the winter of 2000. The version we call the Stable Grazer has been in use since January of 2004. It has been used outside in the cold wet conditions of northern Idaho, and also hot dry conditions with excellent dependability. We feel the new improved model of the Stable Grazer currently being used is the most efficient, reliable, and easy to load multiple flake hay feeder anywhere!
