We've Teamed Up with The Horse Trust – and There's a Hay-Saver to Be Won
Some collaborations are just business. This one really isn't.
We're honoured to be working with The Horse Trust, the UK's oldest horse charity, on a prize draw that's live now through Equine Giveaways. Up for grabs is a Hay-Saver slow feeder – and every penny raised from ticket sales goes straight to The Horse Trust.
Why The Horse Trust?
If you've followed us for any length of time, you'll know that everything we make starts with one question: what's best for the horse? Horses are trickle feeders by design. They're built to graze for most of the day, little and often, and our whole range exists to bring that natural behaviour back into stables and paddocks.
The Horse Trust shares that outlook. From their home at Speen in Buckinghamshire, they care for more than 130 rescued and retired horses, ponies and donkeys – many of them former police, military and RDA horses, and many with their own individual dietary needs. Between them, the residents get through anywhere from 7 kg to 15 kg of forage a day each, and the Trust spends in the region of £90,000 a year on hay alone. As a charity funded entirely by the public, that's a bill they can only meet with support from people like you.
We've admired their work for a long time, so when the opportunity came up to do something together, it wasn't a difficult decision.
What's the prize?
One lucky winner will receive a Hay-Saver, our large-capacity slow feeder designed and made here in Nottinghamshire.
The Hay-Saver was the UK's first British-made slow feeder and it's still the original. It holds a whole small bale (around 20 kg), so there's no decanting or repacking, and it can cut hay wastage by up to half compared with feeding on the floor. Interchangeable grill inserts let one feeder adapt to different horses, it's frost-resistant for year-round outdoor use and it's built from tough rotomoulded plastic that'll take everything a yard can throw at it.
Slowing feeding down isn't just about saving hay. It supports natural grazing behaviour and helps reduce problems such as cribbing, weaving, chewing, ulcers and feed aggression. Whether you've got one horse at home or a busy livery yard, it's a piece of kit that earns its keep every single day.
What your ticket does
Tickets are £2.49 each and there are only 250 in total, so the odds are far better than most draws. To give you an idea of what the money means to the Trust:
One ticket could fill a hay net for a horse in special care
Five tickets could provide a bag of alternative forage for a horse with specific needs
Ten tickets could buy two small bales of hay – enough to feed two herds of Shetland ponies for a day
These are illustrative rather than restricted uses, but they show the difference even a small contribution makes.
A prize that can give twice
Here's the part we love most. If the winner doesn't need a Hay-Saver, they can choose to donate it to The Horse Trust instead – and as a thank you, they'll receive a Horse Trust experience: a private behind-the-scenes tour, cream tea for two, silver sponsorship of a resident of their choice and some Horse Trust merchandise.
So whichever way it goes, the horses win.
