Springtime Foal Beside a Hay Feeder

Outdoor paddocks offer open air space for young horses during spring months. Situated near a feeder filled with fresh hay, a foal remains close to forage in the paddock area.

How Hay Feeders Function in Farm Paddocks

Paddock feeders hold harvested grass and legume hay off the ground to keep feed clean and dry during changing spring weather. Elevated slats allow horses to pull out small bites slowly, mimicking natural grazing habits and promoting healthy digestion.
