Dura-Tech® Slow Feed Attachment For Safety First Hay Rack Cover

The Dura-Tech® Slow Feed Attachment is specifically designed for Schneider's Safety First Hay Rack. However, several customers report it fits well with other standard hay racks too. The cover measures 44½" wide at the top, 33" wide at the bottom, and 23½" high, so you may want to compare those dimensions with your existing hay rack before purchasing.

The cover features 2" openings in 600D material that limit how much hay a horse can grab in one bite, which naturally slows down eating and reduces waste. The elastic webbing allows horses to push against the bars to grab hay without getting frustrated, making it a gentler approach than some other slow feed options.

The Dura-Tech® attachment is constructed from durable 600D material with reinforced webbing on both the inside and outside of the top and bottom frame. It features a vertical center strap for added reinforcement and double lock hook and loop closure straps (5 on top, 4 on bottom) to keep it securely fastened to your hay rack.

Yes, customers consistently report quick and easy installation thanks to the hook and loop closure straps. The cover is also easy to clean, which is especially helpful after use in wet weather like rain and snow.

Yes, many customers use this attachment for horses requiring weight management, including those with Cushing's disease and miniature horses. One customer noted it's much easier to use than a hay bag for managing their Cushing horse's intake, making it a practical option for medical or dietary restrictions.

Multiple customers report significantly reduced hay waste on the ground, which prevents hay from being soiled and stepped on. This is especially valuable in wet weather, and helps ensure more of your hay actually gets eaten rather than wasted.

The inside webbing measures 17" wide by 15" high, creating the grid pattern that limits hay extraction while still allowing horses to access hay comfortably.

Most customers report excellent durability and quality construction, with reinforced webbing and a sturdy center strap designed to withstand daily use. While the vast majority of users are satisfied, a small number have experienced durability issues, so proper installation and fit to your specific hay rack is important for longevity.
