The HWF Hanging Wall Feeder from High Country Plastics is a sturdy poly feeder for horse stalls, fences and pipe panels that holds hay and grain in one place. It has rounded edges for animal safety, a sloped bottom to promote feed mixing, drain holes for easy cleaning and a black powder coated steel hay rack, and it mounts flush to a wall or hangs over a rail.
A stall feeder is something your horse meets nose first several times a day, so safety comes first. Look for smooth, rounded edges with nothing sharp to catch an eyelid or a halter, a design that holds hay off the bedding, room for grain without spilling, and a material that will not crack, rust or splinter. Then think about how easily you can scrub it clean.
A feeder that holds both hay and grain also saves steps at feeding time. With one hanging wall feeder you can drop two or three flakes of hay into the rack, pour the grain into the bowl below, and know your horse is eating at a natural height rather than pulling hay out of dirty bedding.
It is a one-piece poly feeder with a deep, rounded bowl at the bottom and a black steel hay rack across the top. High Country Plastics describes its construction this way: durable impact resistant poly construction with UV protection ensures this feeder will hold up to years of use in harsh elements.
Together, those details make a feeder that is safe for your horse and easy for you to live with.
You have two choices, and both look tidy. To mount it flush, the feeder mounts easily to wood stall walls by simply using lag screws. To hang it, the feeder comes with the HG-KIT for attaching the feeder to 2" lumber, so it can hang over the top board of a stall wall or a wooden fence. For steel pens, it can be attached to pipe panels with the MB-20 mounting bracket kit.
High Country Plastics adds one tip: which ever route you choose for installation, make sure to place washers over the lag screws or bolts for more surface contact and support. Hang it at a height that is comfortable for your horse to eat from.
Yes, and that is what it is built for. At InfoHorse we find the feeder holds two to three flakes of hay along with a grain ration. The steel rack keeps the hay in place so your horse pulls it out a mouthful at a time, while the deep bowl below catches the grain and the leaves that fall from the hay, so less is wasted in the bedding.
The drain holes earn their keep if you feed soaked hay cubes or wet down your hay. Extra water runs out of the bottom instead of pooling under the feed, which helps keep the bowl fresh and makes it easy to rinse out moisture between feedings.
Every horse at InfoHorse.com eats from a High Country Plastics Hanging Wall Feeder, and some of those feeders have been in daily use for ten years and are still in almost perfect condition.
Bob Pruitt, Publisher, InfoHorse.comThis wall feeder is used by all of the horses at InfoHorse.com. We have found them to be both visually beautiful and extremely durable, easy to clean, with safe, rounded edges. The staff at InfoHorse have feeders that are now 10 years old, and still in almost perfect condition.
This is where a smooth poly feeder shines. At InfoHorse, a wet wash cloth is all that is needed to clean the inside, and every color cleans up beautifully. For a deeper clean, the drain holes in the very bottom let you rinse the bowl with a hose and let the water run straight out.
Choose Black, Tan, Forest Green or Red. Each one is handsome, safe and tough, so pick the color that matches your barn, your stall fronts or your farm colors. A bright red or green feeder is also easy to spot down a long barn aisle, and a row of matching feeders gives a barn a clean, finished look.
Because it weighs 14 pounds and hangs on its own steel hooks, the Hanging Wall Feeder is easy to lift off a rail and move to a different stall, a paddock fence or a pipe panel pen with the MB-20 kit. That makes it a practical choice for a horse that splits time between the stall and a turnout pen, or for a barn that changes stall assignments with the seasons.

Its ad for the feeder carries the Made in U.S.A. mark.
The company sums up its standards as durability, quality, strength, innovation, warranty, FDA approval, safety and satisfaction guaranteed, which it calls the High Country Way. Horse owners may also know its Slow Feeder Saver, its Mounting Blocks and its Water Caddies.

The best stall feeder is one that is safe, holds hay and grain off the bedding, and is easy to clean. Look for smooth rounded edges, a sturdy material that will not crack or rust, and a design that keeps hay in a rack and grain in a bowl. The High Country Plastics Hanging Wall Feeder meets those points with rounded poly edges, a black powder coated steel hay rack and drain holes in the very bottom. It is the feeder every horse at InfoHorse.com eats from.
Yes, a well designed hanging wall feeder is a safe way to feed hay and grain together. The High Country Plastics Hanging Wall Feeder features rounded edges for animal safety and a sloped bottom to promote feed mixing. Its steel hay rack holds the hay while the deep poly bowl below holds the grain and catches loose leaves. At InfoHorse it comfortably holds two to three flakes of hay with a grain ration.
Yes. The High Country Plastics Hanging Wall Feeder comes with the HG-KIT for attaching the feeder to 2" lumber, so it can hang over a stall wall or a wooden fence. It also mounts easily to wood stall walls by simply using lag screws, and it can be attached to pipe panels with the MB-20 mounting bracket kit. High Country Plastics recommends washers over the lag screws or bolts for more surface contact and support.
A hanging wall feeder is one of the easiest portable feeders to move between a stall, a fence and a pipe panel pen. The High Country Plastics Hanging Wall Feeder weighs 14 pounds and hangs on black powder coated steel hooks, so it lifts off one rail and goes onto another. With the optional MB-20 mounting bracket kit it fits pipe panels as well as wood walls. It holds hay in its rack and grain in its bowl wherever you hang it.
The Hanging Wall Feeder measures 24.5" L x 21" D x 24.5" H and weighs 14 pounds. That is large enough to hold two to three flakes of hay plus grain, based on daily use at InfoHorse. It is made from durable impact resistant poly construction with UV protection, with a black powder coated steel hay rack and hanging hooks. It comes in Black, Tan, Forest Green and Red.
Yes, as long as the feeder can drain. The High Country Plastics Hanging Wall Feeder has drain holes in the very bottom that allow for easy cleaning or moisture removal. Extra water from soaked hay cubes or wet hay runs out instead of pooling under the feed. That keeps the bowl fresher between feedings and makes it simple to rinse clean.
Most smooth poly feeders clean up with a wet cloth and a rinse. At InfoHorse, a wet wash cloth is all that is needed to clean the inside of the High Country Plastics Hanging Wall Feeder, and every color cleans up beautifully. For a deeper clean, hose out the bowl and let the water run out of the drain holes in the bottom. Rounded inside corners leave few places for old feed to collect.
With ordinary barn use, these feeders last for many years. The staff at InfoHorse have Hanging Wall Feeders that are now 10 years old and still in almost perfect condition. High Country Plastics says its durable impact resistant poly construction with UV protection ensures this feeder will hold up to years of use in harsh elements. All High Country Plastics products also carry a manufacturer's defect warranty.
