TheHAYBOX- Built By a Horse Owner- For Horse Owners!
If you have horses, you understand the commitment. Feeding isn't optional — it’s every morning, every evening, in every kind of weather. Whether it’s raining sideways, snowing, or blowing 40 mph, the horses still expect and need their meals. And if you’re stuck at work, heading to a roping, out to dinner, or on vacation, your mind is back at home, hoping someone fed on time.That’s exactly where the HayBoxbegan.
Created by Todd Libsack in Greeley, Colorado, the HayBox was born out of decades of experience in hay production and horse ownership. Todd understands the feeding struggle — the time, the routine, and the stress of finding reliable help when plans change. After too many nights running outside in a storm or rearranging life around feeding schedules, he finally said:
“There has to be a better way to feed.”
So he built it!
The HayBox allows owners to program multiple openings and closings a day and night — delivering the exact schedule horses need without requiring the owner to be there. Today, every HayBox is still built with the same purpose:
To make feeding easier for people — and better for horses.
Feeding Science: The Case For Constant Forage
Horses are grazing animals designed to eat small amounts of forage nearly around the clock. Their stomachs continuously produce gastric acid, whether food is present or not. Without steady orage to buffer that acid, the stomach lining can become irritated, increasing the risk of painful ulcers.
Ulcers aren’t the only concern. Inconsistent forage intake increases the risk of colic—one of the leading causes of equine death—and can trigger stress behaviors such as cribbing, stall weaving, wood chewing, and aggression. Irregular feeding patterns may also disrupt metabolism, making horses more prone to insulin resistance, obesity, and laminitis.
Veterinarians and equine nutritionists agree: horses do best when their digestive systems stay active. Frequent, timed feedings regulate acid levels, maintain gut motility, stabilize blood sugar, and promote mental calmness. Even for horses on restricted diets, controlled 24-hour access to forage supports calmer behavior, improved digestion, fewer metabolic spikes, and a reduced risk of colic, ulcers, and laminitis.
BENEFITS OF HAYBOX VS. TRADITIONAL FEEDING
Traditional Feeding:
* Digestive Health - Long Gaps- Acid Buildup- Ulcer Risk
* Colic Risk - Fast Intake- Mobility Swings
* Behavior- Cribbing, Pawing, Wood Chewing
* Metabolism- Blood Sugar Spikes
* Owner Time- Must Feed 2-3 Times per day
* Hay Waste- Dragged, Stomped, Blown Away
* Far From Natural Grazing That Nature Intended
HayBox Controlled Slow Feeding:
* Digestive Health - Continuous Forage Buffers Acid
* Colic Risk - Slow, Steady Intake- Supports Gut Motility
* Behavior- Calm Horses, Reduced Stress
* Metabolism- Balanced Metabolism
* Hay Waste- Enclosed Feeding Reduces Waste * Owner Time- Automatically Feeds For Days or Weeks
* Supports Natural Grazing That Nature Intended POWER & CONSTRUCTION

Does The HayBox Actually Encourage Most Horses To Drink More Regularly?
Yes! The HayBox Feeder does seem to encourage most horses to drink more water. Because they’re eating smaller, more frequent portions throughout the day, their digestive system stays active and balanced, which naturally makes them drink more. Horses are calmer and less stressed when they eat like this, and that usually means they stay better hydrated too.
CanHayBoxActually Help My Horse Business?
Yes! For horse businesses, the HayBox has been a real asset. It acts like a controlled “mini pasture” that gives horses the benefit of grazing behavior without the risks that come from lush pastures, like laminitis or founder. Boarding barns that use HayBoxes have noticed healthier, calmer horses and happier boarders. Many owners are willing to pay more or stay longer knowing their horses are being fed this way — and the feeders also qualify as a business tax deduction since they’re considered equipment that supports horse health and management.
