The HayTimer makes small portions of hay available at adjustable times so that the horse is not left without roughage for long periods. The HayTimer can store four portions. By attaching a hay net under the HayTimer, an extra portion can be offered. The HayTimer can be set to eight times per 24 hours, allowing for a total of up to ten feedings per day.

This is the HayTimer kit; you can assemble it yourself using the highly detailed assembly instructions. The aluminum structure is not intended for use as a rubbing post, so when setting it up, make sure your horse cannot reach the HayTimer. You can see various examples of such setups here and in our reviews. If that’s not possible, opt for the HayTimer Pro: it’s made entirely of steel, fully welded, durably powder-coated, and ready to use.

All specifications for the HayTimer can be found here.  Want to know how to assemble the kit first? You can find that information here.

The materials used, aluminum and stainless steel, do not require any finishing because they cannot rust. The advantage of this choice is that the HayTimer is durable and can be used indoors and outdoors without any problems. The disadvantage is that slight cosmetic marks may be visible during production and handling, such as oil stains, suction cup marks, or small scratches. These have no effect on the operation, safety, or lifespan of the system. If a smooth finish is important to you, you can easily sand the parts lightly yourself or finish them further.
