Many smaller and medium sized stables, however, come up against a problem where feeding is concerned: with constant access to hay, the horses tend to overfeed, which can be unhealthy. An attempt to ration the feed often fails due to lack of means to keep to both frequent and regular feeding times.

As a solution to this problem, HIT has developed a new, effective feeding system for hay: with the Horseking® Portion Feeder, horses are offered specific amounts of hay at set times throughout the day. With the use of a feeding computer, specific feeding times in which the horses can eat their bulky feeds can be set. In between feeding periods, a barrier closes off access to the feeder. This simple system of allocation ensures that the horses can eat in a way that is compatible with their natural feeding habits and offers the horse owner the opportunity to regulate and control the amount of bulky feed available to the group of horses at any time.
