Introducing The Forager To Your Horse; Maintenance - HAYGAIN FORAGER Manuel D'utilisation

Introducing the Forager to Your Horse

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 fill 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 fill 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 finding the Easy (white) regulator too easy then exchange for the
Standard (green) regulator.

Maintenance

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 flow out at the bottom or for a deeper clean you can take apart and wash
each component separately and then rebuild.
