"These are the most durable that I’ve found but they still have the nylon break over time and I’ve needed the strap to be reinforced"
"Love this feed bag. It has ventilation for the horse with an easy buckle on the strap and plenty of adjustment to fit to size."
"This weekend, after a couple weeks of heavy use for this feedbag (feeding multiple horses a day with it, one that’s in a group pasture setting so played with), the stitching on one of the straps broke. Everything else about it is great - the mesh is thick and high quality while still being breathable, and the nylon is durable."
"So happy with this grain bag! A few of my horses had totally destroyed their previous grain bags in about a week. These have held up for a couple months now."
"It’s a great product. I have a horse that paws so I have to be careful that he doesn’t tear it eventually. The only thing I would change is instead of the totally mesh bottom if they could be partially covered with something solid because it gets full of mud and mop, and I wash it out every time I use it"
"I wanted to love this, but I couldn't because it wasn't great. Firstly - the bottom is mesh!!!!! It wasn't apparent from the item description. If you feed powdered/granular supplements, it's likely they will fall out of the bottom of the bag. Secondly - within two days of use, one end of the strap pulled out of the bucket (maybe it wasn't well sewn?). It was an easy fix with a sewing machine, and it shouldn't have broken and it was a little bit of a PITA."
"My mare likes to ""walk and chew"" broadcasting and wasting 2/3 of her feed and supplements on the dirt and sand ground. Then she spends the next 20 minutes licking up every spilled morsel off the ground along with sand/dirt. I've had the vet check her teeth, all ok. I've tried all sorts of buckets, positions and arrangements to no avail. Someone suggested tying a bucket to her halter and it hit meâ ¦FEEDBAG duh! This thing works great! She took 1 second to get used to it and seems to like it! Now she can walk and chew all she wants and doesn't waste feed and supplements, and isn't ingesting sand anymore. Thanks Schneiders!"
"Broke only after 3 uses. The strap ripped off, however a new one is already on its way. Sstack has the best costumer service and are always a joy to work with. Hopefully the first one was just a dud. The mesh bottom makes it easy to keep clean. Unlike other bags I've used."
"It was used 3 times and the strap ripped off. But I will say sstacks costumer service is some of the best I've ever worked with. I have a replacement on its way. So hopefully the first one was just a dud. Besides the broken strap. The mesh bottom is very nice, because you can actually keep the bag clean. Unlike other bags I've used."
"We use this to feed her supplements- it's roomy and very breathable."
