The Haygain® Forager has been designed to simulate a horse’s natural, slow and steady
eating behaviour. The design ensures only small, bite sized, portions of forage can be taken
at one time and this has a number of physical and mental health benets for horses that are
stabled for long periods of time.
Unpacking your Haygain® Forager
Check you have all of the following parts. If you do not have a part, contact your supplier
within 7 working days of delivery.
For use in the stable we advise that The Forager is placed in the corner. Some horses are
ne to leave The Forager as a stand-alone feeder, others will need to be deterred from
moving it by placing sand in the base to weigh it down as described in the “Building your
forager section of this manual”. The Forager can be xed to the wall using the openings in
the top ring. The Forager can also be used outside or taken with you to shows. You can at
pack it for ease of moving it around, packing it for shows or storing it away.

4 On arrival the 4 rubber wedges will be
inside the top ring. Pull each wedge down
as indicated by the arrow on the right of
each wedge so they are dangling down. Be
careful not to detach fully, this creates space
in the top ring to enable the next step.
5 Securing the top ring:
Step 1: Line up the 4 wedges of the top ring
with the middle of the 4 walls.
Step 2: Squeeze the inner aps located
on the underside of the top ring in
diagonal pairs and push down which
will release the aps.
6 Mount the 4 wedges - each wedge should
click into place becoming completely ush
with the top ring.

The Forager is versatile, any of the regulator and unit set ups can be used at any time
depending on the horse, time of year, current forage supply.
For example, depending on the grass and work levels, the same horse could:
Many factors affect how much the horse is slowed down by The Forager:
The regulators are expected to wear over time and will need replacing. They are available in
packs of 2. How often they are replaced will depend on the amount of use and force applied
by the horse.
Any type of long-stemmed forage from any size of bale can be used; dry hay or hay which
has been soaked, or steamed or haylage can all be used.
Capacity up to approx. 12kg / 26lbs
When loading The Forager please ensure the forage is WELL SHAKEN OUT, this is
especially important when feeding big bale hay or haylage with more compacted slices. If
the hay Is too compacted your horse may nd it difcult to pull it through the holes.
1. Unclip the regulator from the metal ring and remove from The Forager. You
can either pull straight up or take one arm out at a time.
2. Fill The Forager, shake out the forage while loading it ensuring there are
no clumps of hay.
3. Insert the regulator into The Forager, one arm at a time, raise the metal ring
up and clip the regulator on, push down hard until you hear it click onto
the ring in all 4 places.
4. Check the top ring is secure and all green wedges are in place.

When introducing The Forager to your horse you have a number of options which allow you
to tailor the product to your individual horse.
2 types of regulator supplied:
- Easy (white)
- Standard (green)
It is important that you get the balance right for your horse and in order to do so we
recommend:
1. Start without any regulator allowing them to acclimatise to the product in their stable
for a few days.
2. Once comfortable eating from The Forager introduce the Easy (white) regulator, we
suggest you ll The Forager half way then place the regulator with some loose forage
on the top. Set-up like this your horse has easy access to forage initially and then
has to learn to pull the hay through the regulator with the second half of the ration.
3. After a few days ll to the top, place the regulator and pull some forage through the
holes to make it easier for your horse to get going.
4. After 7 days your horse should be feeding well.
5. If your horse is nding the Easy (white) regulator too easy then exchange for the
Standard (green) regulator.
We recommend cleaning out the unit daily, remove any uneaten hay debris from the bottom
after each use by hand or with a hand-held brush clearing the base and any bits between
the side walls. Keeping your unit clean will encourage your horse to always eat up and
prevent a build up of old hay.
A hose can be used to power wash, the unit as a whole - the base has indents to allow
water to easily ow out at the bottom or for a deeper clean you can take apart and wash
each component separately and then rebuild.

SOLUTION
Remove the grid for a day to help establish if it is the forage
quality causing the issue of it they are struggling with the
regulator itself.
If they are eating up the forage well without the regulator
then try re-introducing the Easy (white) regulator lled half-
way with loose on top.
Check that the hay has been shaken out properly. Check
the quality of the hay at the base, if it has been left for a few
days it is likely dusty and unpalatable. If this is not cleaned-
out then it can build up.
Your horse should have acclimatised within the rst 7-10
days. Ensure that you introduce the grid slowly if your horse
is particularly sensitive to change.
If you nd your unit has come apart please check the top
ring has been secured, with all 4 wedges clicked into place.
Check that the grid is clipped onto the ring properly all the
way around each time it is lled – you should feel a click as
it connects to metal ring.
Ensure that the hay is well shaken and not too tightly
packed, if it is compacted under the regulator it will be hard
for your horse to eat. We recommend putting some loose
hay on the top to increase your hay ration.
Check there is no hay in between the clip and the metal
ring. Try pushing down on the regulator towards the centre
to help it click onto the metal ring.

SOLUTION
As there are many types of forage, which vary in stem
length and density, this can have an effect on how much the
horse is slowed down when using The Forager.
You can ll the base of The Forager with kiln dried sand and
attached The Forager to the wall using one of the openings
on the green lid. See pages 6 & 8.
* Please note we do not advise substituting sand for water
as freezing temperatures could result in damage to the
base part.
Push back into position when you next load The Forager.
The Forager can function without a wedge(s) but these
fully secure the top ring and we advise they are replaced.
Please contact us to purchase wedge replacements.

Der Haygain® Forager wurde entwickelt, um das natürliche, langsame und gleichmäßige
Fressverhalten eines Pferdes zu simulieren. Das Design stellt sicher, dass nur kleine,
mundgerechte Futterportionen auf einmal entnommen werden können. Dies hat eine Reihe
von Vorteilen für die körperliche und geistige Gesundheit von Pferden, die über einen
längeren Zeitraum im Stall gehalten werden.
Auspacken Ihres Haygain® Foragers
Überprüfen Sie, ob alle im Folgenden genannten Teile vorliegen. Wenn Ihnen ein Teil fehlt,
wenden Sie sich innerhalb von 7 Werktagen nach Lieferung an Ihren Lieferanten.
Für den Einsatz im Stall empfehlen wir, den Forager in einer Ecke zu platzieren. Einige
Pferde können den Forager als eigenständigen Futterautomaten in Ruhe lassen, andere
müssen davon abgehalten werden, ihn zu bewegen, indem Sie Sand in den Sockel geben,
um ihn zu beschweren, wie im „Abschnitt Aufbau Ihres Foragers in dieser Anleitung“
beschrieben. Der Forager kann mithilfe der Öffnungen im Ringaufsatz an der Wand befestigt
werden. Der Forager kann auch im Freien verwendet oder zu Shows mitgenommen werden.
Sie können ihn ach verpacken, um ihn leichter zu bewegen oder ihn für Shows oder zur
Aufbewahrung einzupacken.
