Horse Feeders | Success Horse Stud

This video features Jackie Gibson and Jock Randle from Success Stud in Young, who discuss how their new automated feeding system has revolutionised their operations. Primarily working with standardbred horses, they were searching for a solution to reduce the physical strain of manually carrying 20-gallon buckets of grain and improve safety. They emphasise how the feeder has cut their feeding time in half, making it simple and efficient for just one person to manage.

The system allows them to feed different types of grain—such as pellets and oats—through separate hoppers, with the press of a button. Jock highlights the benefits of calibration, ensuring precise amounts are dispensed, while Jackie appreciates the ease and safety of the operation, especially when dealing with large numbers of mares. They no longer have to worry about the risks of animals getting injured during feeding, making it a safer environment for both staff and horses.

Overall, the automated system has improved safety, saved time, and reduced physical effort, providing an effective feeding process they highly recommend.
