Product Information

We hope to launch an owner focused equine weight calculator, based around ideal bodyweight, with owners accurately fat scoring their own animals. We feel this could also be incredibly valuable.” Suitable for indoor and outdoor use (-18 °C to +30 °C), this feeder is available with interchangeable feeding discs with holes of 70mm and 90mm. It has a watertight bung for soaking and draining hay, plus four fixing points that mean you can secure it to a fence post or stable wall. We recommend using the round bale net with UN SHOD horses, ponies, and donkeys. We recommend you use a feeding ring if your horses are shod to prevent them from catching a shoe in the netting. Ellen continues: “We have created a unique resource which gives owners a good baseline to start from. Using the specific feeding goal, weight loss, maintenance or weight gain the calculator takes the numbers we know work. It then approximates on the DM requirements based on the owner’s Samantha founded the Equestrian Blogger of the Year awards in 2011 and is now joint judge of the Equestrian Blogger/Vlogger of the Year Award with host MirrorMePR recognising talent within the industry.

I thought it would be ideal to have an online tool for owners to do this themselves and learn more about dry matter intake (DMI) requirements. I then wanted to make this tool more comprehensive and useful for owners, so I began to look more closely at pasture DMI and started reading the research. As an added bonus, the calculator also tells the user how much money they will save if they have been over-feeding forage. The tool can provide a good starting point for owners, though it does not replace working with an equine nutritionist. Owners are directed towards the services of Vetrition and Practical Equine Nutrition for personalised weight loss plans for their horses.

Users must input their horse’s weight, number of hours of turnout and type of pasture, as well as the amount of hay being fed and the feeding goal. Results are instantly available and displayed alongside advice for feeding equines on a weight-control diet. The calculator also tells the user how much money they will save if they have been over-feeding forage. The Original holds 8.5kg dry hay, so it’s big enough to feed a large horse overnight. The Mini holds 4 kg dry hay, enough for a large pony. We recommend an Original for any equine over 14hh and a Mini for those smaller.

We’ve had a lot of interest from top riders at YHL over the years and it’s also where we met Sharon Hunt, who is now our high profile sponsored rider and a great ambassador for the brand.This feeder has a plug and drain that allows you to soak the hay easily. There is a choice of three regulator hole sizes – 70mm, 90mm or 100mm. We have created a unique resource which gives owners a good baseline to start from. Using the specific feeding goal, weight loss, maintenance or weight gain the calculator takes the numbers we know work. It then approximates on the DM requirements based on the owner’s information, and the research data. It can’t be entirely accurate of course as each horse is anindividual, but it is a very good ‘ballpark’ calculation, which is a big step forward for owners who could not easily access this important information before.” In terms of brand awareness, we find YHL unbeatable. It's brilliant to see customers returning to tell us how great the products are and to hear their success stories. That’s the best part of YHL, getting to know the customers and hearing what a difference the products make.

The new knotless SOFTEE nets offer you and your horse a bit of luxury in the stable, while still providing much more nibble time. The Softee Net is made with a 5mm strong braided knotless twine, with 25mm holes for very effective slow feeding. The mesh material is a silky smooth composition, and the nets are incredibly easy to use with a wide open end and plenty of soft rope for tying them up however works best for you. There was a horse on our old yard who couldn't have ad-lib hay, or access to much grass because of a mouth ulcer and tooth problem- he's had it for ages and had always been hungry (they wondered why their cob wasn't fat ) but it was an undiagnosed problem, eventually the concerned tooth fell out itself and he gorged himself so much he kept getting colic. So if you are going to ad-lib, increase it slowly!The new resource has been developed over several months, and uses data pulled from the latest available research in approximating the dry matter forage requirements of horses and ponies on a grass and hay diet.
