Safety is our top priority in the design of Heica® feeders. We have compiled a list of considerations for using Heica feeders safely. Please refer to our instructions for secure usage.
Fill the Heica® feeder to the fullest and make sure the hay comes out from the net.
This way it is not too difficult for the horse in the beginning and the horse gets familiar with it.
Close the buttons and make sure the hay doesn't come out from the filling hole.
Pick some hay out of the net so that it is easier for the horse to start eating.
Give hay also freely together with the feeder so your horse can choose the way he/she wants to eat.
Store empty feeder in a dry space.

We often get questions like: "How much does a hay pillow slow down eating?" or "Would it help my horse in current situation?" The truth is, a haypillow is just one tool in your daily routine. Every horse is unique, with its own temperament and needs, and each stable environment and routine differs. So, the effects of a haypillow will vary from one situation to another.
Slow feeders have been an essential tool for horse owners, for years now, looking to optimize their equine companions' health and well-being. And it has been essential tool for us also. That is the reason why Heica feeders exists.
