Drop 'N' Slow® Patented Portable Equine Slow Feeder Insert Designed to Reduce Choke, Curb Bad Eating Habits and Promote Healthy Digestion in Horses - Fits 12 Inch Round Feed Tubs

Fits well in the recommended feed tub. Slows my gelding down, which was the goal after we had a choke scare. I think he'd throw it out of a flatter feed dish but works well in the deeper tub.

This works greats to slow down horses who inhale their food and fits perfectly in a standard size black tub.

Broke too easily

I have a unique situation: my old man is blind but still the herd leader and the middle of the herd guy is also old, but the one who needs the weight the most. The young one is a punk. The young one finishes his token handful of grain and sort of hovers around the middle one, eating anything he dropped. He doesn't dare steal his grain. The older blind one, now that's a different story. He doesn't need much grain, but he finishes too quickly, wanders over, kicks the middle one out of his bowl, and goes to town. I tried every manner of separating them but without three stalls, I was messing with the herd dynamic and it was stressful for everyone, including me. I hesitate to tie the blind one up. So now what? I needed a way to feed the blind one less grain but make him take longer to eat it.The Drop'N'Slow was a Hail Mary, but it works like a charm. I drop it into the blind guy's bowl and it takes him longer to eat. This means the middle guy gets his amount of weight-building grain/beet pulp without being chased away. The oldest pushes the Drop'N'Slow all over his bowl as he eats because it's a standard 15" rubber pan, but he seldom gets it out. I did try to flip it over so the cups made mounds instead of indentations. This slowed him some, but not enough. It may be a great solution for someone who needs a moderate slow-down, though.They eat a mash, and so far no problems with getting the soft stuff out of the cups. He licks it/lips it out with no frustration. I am very happy with this solution, and am thinking of getting a second one for the young punk so he feels like he's getting more grain.Exactly what I was looking for, works great for my situation.EDIT: Well, the plastic is no match for a horse accidentally stepping on it. Shattered into a million pieces. I have had to order a replacement and now I'm baffled about the thought process of making a HORSE device out of plastic. It's the only solution I've found, so I'm stuck. Great idea, works for the problem, but plastic???

This is great in theory but I wish it were made out of rubber instead of plastic. I barely had it a week when my horse knocked it out of the feed tub, stepped on it, and broke it.

I have a mare that likes to attack her grain. The raised portions are just deep enough to prevent the big deep bites. Make feeding time less risky for her. A yes! They will wear out over time as the lil joggers figure out how to bite them and throw them on the ground after they clean plate.A big thing is if they don't throw it out , you must remove it and clean under it. Some food will get under the lip and if you are t disinfect in cleaning it, it molds!!!

This is a great concept but it doesn’t fit in any of my buckets and I can’t find a bucket or even feed pan that works. Don’t waste the money until you know you have something for it to go into. Basically pointless in what I have it in now but I can’t return. Hopefully I find an effective bucket soon cause it has potential to work great

The slo feeder works right side up or upside down. It fits perfectly in my horses feed bin. Very easy to clean.
