Hay Ball Feeder is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 18.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from My horse loves it! The holes are the perfect size for long stemmed grass hay. I add a little alfalfa as well. This toy keeps him busy for hours. My only hesitation at awarding 5 stars for quality is that the filler cover does sometimes come partially unscrewed. This doesn't happen with the other hay ball made by a different manufacturer. But, it was also 20% more expensive.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not worth the $$ I tried many different ways to use this hay ball. I've tried finer, softer hay, coarser hay, and hay cubes. My horses tried to play with it for a few minutes, but gave up. The hay is very hard to get out (the holes are small). The hay cubes were a bit better, but you have to put some hay in too or they all fall out. The hay ended up in the middle, wrapped around the hay cubes. The horses couldn't get either out. A frustrating purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super durable! I was worried about it’s durability with my Clydesdale, and it actually made it 10 months (which is super impressive!). Even when she managed to crush it, it did just bend inward on itself, it didn’t crack or leave any sharp edges. Definitely a great toy or boredom buster!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My horses, donkeys and mule love these. I have had mine for over five years now. I use them summer and -30 degree winter days. I do not use them in the mud, but especially good in the snow. Sometimes they want them all to themselves, but find they like to share as each has their own method of getting to the hay and when they team up they seem to have a better time. I also fill with looser hay, or finer hay and hand from a small chain in the barn and they love to work at it. Have never had one crack, chip or be destroyed in any way. If the screw top gets frozen I just hit it once with a rubber mallet and it comes right off. Love these hay balls!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great size, mostly durable, horse actually plays! Recommended by a friend after my 5-year-old TB destroyed multiple jolly balls (actually played with them but squashed means uninterested). He loves his hay ball and even prefers it to loose hay on the ground! He must have sat his 1200 lb self on it the first night because one side is already dented, but it's 100% functional even with the dent. I call it a win! I can fit about 2 flakes of grass hay in it, and I taught him about it by pulling some strands out of every hole to get him started. Took to it like...hay. The lid stays screwed shut, and it isn't terribly loud when he crashes it into his stall walls. He's concerned a few people who think he's pawing -- nope, just having a "ball"!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My horse LOVED it My horse is a stall walker and it drives the owner of the barn crazy when the horses are inside because of inclement weather. As much as I would rather just turn him out, the barn that I board at doesn't allow it. I bought him the hay ball and he LOVES it. His pacing is 75% percent better than it was and he is so much happier when he has to stay inside. It holds a decent amount of hay also!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Learning curve Bought this for my easy-keeping PRE. I found that I need to break-up the hay when putting in for it, otherwise it’s almost impossible for my horse to get it out. He was quite frustrated at first, but with finer, softer hay it worked much better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from EXCELLENT This has held up so far about six months! Highly recommend this, will be buying more
