The PasturePal® is an animal activated feed dispenser.
It just might be the cure for cribbing! It promotes busy activity in a natural
foraging
motion.
Animals
rotate
the
drum
fast or slow
as they forage naturally at ground level, yet, not on the ground! The PasturePal®
provides a safe, clean place for the horse to feed at ground level. The act of
nuzzling the drum to get the feed out, at ground level, helps the horse to clear
his sinuses. This could lessen some respiratory ailments and snotty noses. The
PasturePal® is also a great feed management tool. It keeps horses from eating
too fast and measures out the right amounts. The
PasturePal®
is suitable for any animal or foraging nature, including emu, ostrich, cows,
pigs,
donkeys, and even elephants. Yes, the PasturePal® is "Elephant Proof!"
The PasturePal® is available with or without the base. We recommend
using the base, particularly where the ground is not suitable for grazing and
foraging
- any condition that might induce colic (i.e. sandy, rocky, dusty, grassless
ground).
Without the base (on good thick grass), the PasturePal® can be used
like
the Eggbutt™ HORSEBALL®, promoting and inducing activity in the pasture.
The horse will nuzzle, push, kick, and chase the PasturePal™ as they go
after the feed and/or treats that are dispensed. The PasturePal® is designed
to be used with feed, grain, pellets, alfalfa cubes, etc. The PasturePal® Feeder
is designed so that the treat/feed openings can be adjusted for size and number.
We do not recommend the use of carrots, apples or other such treats. |
