The OptiMizer is like a pasture in a box. Clean hay is always available and chewing is significantly prolonged, which supports gastric health.
 
The OptiMizer (Paddock)
 
Length and Width: 4′ by 4′
Weight: Approximately 100 pounds when empty.
Can hold two small square bales (up to 42″ long and 16″ tall) or up to 150 pounds of hay from 3-string bales, large squares, or round bales.
The manger and legs are made of the same durable polymer used to make playground equipment (LLDPE). All the corners are rounded or bevelled, making the surfaces smooth for safety.
OptiNet slow feed netting has been designed specifically for equine use. It’s knotless, thick, and durable, yet it’s gentle on horses’ mouths and teeth.
The netting is held in place over the hay on a stainless steel assembly. It hangs inside the feeder and drapes over the hay from the top to the bottom as the hay is slowly consumed.
Smooth, one handed operation of the slide arm quickly opens and closes the feeder to add hay. The slide arm is locked on the side, to prevent horses from opening the net.
Drainage holes in the bottom help prevent hay spoilage due to prolonged soaking.
Hand holds on the front and back make it easy to move around the paddock by hand.
The standard colour is sandstone. Custom colours are available (with 4-6 weeks
turnaround and a premium dependent on colour choice and quantity ordered in custom
colour).
