Easy-Up® Safety First Hay Racks

Hay off the floor, eaten at a horse's pace

Rounded 1-inch steel tubing with bars 2½ inches apart: your horse pulls hay through slowly instead of pulling it onto the shavings. Two sizes, three pieces to assemble, and a 5-year Easy-Up® warranty against breakage.
1
Hay stays off the floor and out of the shavings
Hay on the stall floor picks up dust, shavings and manure before it is eaten. Off the floor, more of every flake is eaten and less is wasted.
2
Bars 2½ inches apart slow the meal down
Your horse pulls a few strands at a time, closer to grazing than gulping. Hay in front of them longer, which matters most for stalled horses and fast eaters.

Rounded tubing, no sharp corners
The frame is 1-inch rounded tubular steel and the uprights are 9/16-inch tube, shaped to lower the risk of a cut or a caught halter compared with flat-bar racks.

Two sizes, three pieces, a few screws
Standard holds 2 to 3 flakes, Large up to 4. The top slides into itself and the bottom frame attaches with the included screws. Guaranteed against breakage for 5 years.

What Horse Owners Are Saying

★★★★★
I really like this hay rack. It is the 2nd one I purchased and works really well for my stal bound horse recovering from surgery. She doesn't pull her hay out and waste it.
Stronghill — Easy-Up® owner ✓ Verified
★★★★★
Very easy to I stall, sturdy and practical. My mare is like a hay vacuum and now she is eating slower which it helps her digestion as well. Very happy with the product! My whole barn is using it.

★★★★★

Less hay wasted, more of it eaten slowly

Hay on the stall floor gets trampled, mixed into the shavings and thrown away. Up in the Safety First rack it stays clean, and bars set 2½ inches apart mean your horse pulls it through a few strands at a time, closer to grazing than gulping. The frame is 1-inch rounded tubular steel with 9/16-inch tubular uprights, shaped without sharp corners. Standard holds 2 to 3 flakes at 23 by 25 by 13½ inches; Large holds up to 4 at 27 by 27 by 16. Three pieces: the top slides together and the bottom frame attaches with the included screws. Backed by the 5-year Easy-Up® warranty against breakage.

Key benefits

Slow Feeding - The Healthier Option for Your Horse

There are many reasons to use a slow feeder for your horse, such as health and money-saving benefits. When you keep hay off the floor, you're keeping your horse from ingesting dust, shavings, dirt, and manure that can cause colic. Not only that, but slow feeders prevent excessive waste, which saves you money in the long run.

A Safe and Durable Design

Easy-Up® Safety First Hay Racks are safe, durable, and designed to withstand daily use. The 1" rounded tubular steel framing with 9/16" tubular vertical bars are designed with horse-safety top of mind, decreasing the risk of injury compared to others. We are so confident in this design that it comes with an industry-leading 5-year warranty against breakage.

Two Size Options to Fit Your Needs

Available in both a standard and large size to fit the needs of your stable and horse. The standard size is 23"H x 25"W x 13 1/2"D. The large size is 27"H x 27"W x 16"D.

2.5" Spacing to Slow Consumption

The 2.5" narrow bar spacing slows your horse's consumption, helping eat at a more natural pace. This prolongs the time they have hay in front of them and is especially beneficial for boarding facilities, horses stalled for longer periods, and horses that struggle with overconsumption.

Easy Assembly

This hay rack is SO EASY to put together. The tubular top slides into itself, and the bottom framing is attached with the included screws.

For a rack with narrower bar spacing, a lid to prevent top feeding, and a 7-year warranty, we recommend:

Reviews

Horse Tore It Apart

"It worked for a little under a year. I have a Percheron and he pushed against it and bent the bars. Next, I go in and the entire side is blown out with sharp edges. No idea what a 5 year warranty does but cannot find anything on it, anywhere. If you have a bigger horse, you might want to stay away."

— Michelle (2/5)

Does the trick for me.

"Very well made, easy to install. The hardest part was waiting 5 months because it being backorder by supplier. No fault of Schneiders."

Large Hay Rack

Perfect

"This is one sturdy hay rack. It was a little hard to get the pieces to line up when putting it together, but once it's together it's not coming apart. It's solid and has rounded edges so it's much safer than other racks I've seen."

— Julie M. (5/5)

Cheap Hardware Kits

"I bought 2 of these, shipped in 2 different looking boxes and I received 2 different hardware kits. The one was a phillips head & the other was 1/2 I needed a socket for to install. One of the Phillip screws snapped off when installing . I understand they come from china but kind of hoped for better quality especially with the price. Overall, easy install. They look good and seem to be okay quality."

— Julie (4/5)

— Barbara G. (5/5)

This is a great size

"This is a great size and sturdy rack. I was worried it wouldn't be large enough but I can throw 2-3 large flakes in with room to spare. My aggressive eaters haven't had any issues nor have they managed to destruct it in any way."

— Nicole R. (5/5)
