There's a Hay Pillow for every use - from the best selling standard ground pillow, to the hanging hay pillow and horse trailer manager hay pillow - plus the mini hay pillow, specifically designed for minis.
"As an equine veterinarian and dentist, I highly recommend the Hay Pillow to my clients. I use them for my personal horses and have been really pleased. I prefer to feed my horses in correct anatomical position - on the ground! They are durable, and keep my horses with hay for hours at a time with no mess/discarded hay. When they get dirty, we just throw them in the washer! Excellent product."

“The purpose of a slow-feeding system is to simulate grazing. Horses in a natural setting eat small amounts of forage as they wander in search of the next tasty morsel. We enjoy recommending TheHayPillow.com for offering free-choice forage in areas where pasture isn’t available."

"I am a veterinary surgeon who has recently switched his focus from general practice to specialize exclusively on horses' feet and to concentrate on studies and research into laminitis. There are great benefits in 'slow-feeding' horses and I have witnessed just how effective The Hay Pillow is. I am also impressed with the quality of the product. I would recommend The Hay Pillow to all horse owners."
