It can be handheld or hung anywhere, offering convenience and flexibility. Whether you're in the barn or out in the field, this tool makes weighing your hay an effortless task. Despite its compact size, the Hay Weigher has a generous capacity, capable of weighing up to 30kg of hay. This ensures it can handle the needs of most horse owners.

As a feeding guide, a horse should receive approximately 1.5 – 2.5% of its body weight in forage in Dry Matter. Therefore on average, a 500kg horse in maintenance up to moderate work should be getting 10 - 12.5kg or forage (translated as hay and/or grass from grazing) per day. However, don't forget that this means Dry Matter. Most hays are around 15% moisture, so you need to allow a little more. Again this is where slow feed hay nets come in handy as they can be loaded up with the correct amount of hay by weight and you know that your horse or pony getting the amount of forage it requires. As an owner, you can be satisfied that your horse is getting the correct amount of forage it should be getting to maintain it in a healthy state.
