Contained Hay, Covered Access, Wall-Mounted Convenience
Meet the Schneiders® Easy-Up® Pro Mounted Flat Wall Hay Rack with Lid—a heavy-duty slow-feed hay rack designed to keep hay contained.
The Problem
Keep Large Hay Portions Contained Behind a Mounted Lid
It’s 5:45 in the morning, and you’re walking the barn aisle before work with flakes of hay balanced against your chest. Your horse is waiting at the stall front, but yesterday’s hay is scattered through the bedding, mixed into the shavings, and pushed beyond easy reach. You gather what you can, add fresh hay, and wonder how much will be pulled out, sorted through, or trampled before the next feeding. It’s another small chore in a routine already packed with water buckets, turnout, stalls, and one watchful eye on your horse’s comfort.
Every horse owner knows the challenge of keeping hay available without letting it take over the stall. Feeding directly on the floor may leave hay mixed with bedding. A basic open rack can hold hay up, but it may also give your horse easy access from above, making it harder to manage the pace of feeding. Hanging a hay net introduces its own routine of filling, lifting, fastening, and checking. What should be a straightforward part of barn care becomes a daily compromise between containment, accessibility, feeding position, and the time it takes to refill everything.
The cost is more than the few minutes spent sweeping the stall front. Hay that ends up scattered through wet or soiled bedding may be difficult to recover, and every wasted flake adds up across repeated feedings. Meanwhile, your horse still needs a setup that offers dependable access without requiring you to wrestle with a loose net or accept a bulky feeder that overwhelms the stall. You want hay contained, your horse comfortably occupied, and refilling simple enough to fit the way your barn actually runs. The real problem is finding one feeder that brings those practical needs together without trading away capacity, durability, or a more natural feeding position.

Why It Keeps Happening
An Open Top Can Undercut a Slow-Feed Setup
The problem isn’t you, and it isn’t your horse. Many hay-feeding setups solve only one part of the routine. A floor pile is easy to serve but difficult to contain. An open rack contains the hay but may leave the top accessible. A separate slow-feed net controls the opening size, yet adds another piece to fill, fasten, inspect, and eventually replace.
That pieced-together approach creates friction at every feeding. When a rack is too small, you refill it more often. When its openings are too wide, it may not provide the controlled access you wanted from a slow feeder. When the top is open, your horse can reach into the hay instead of consistently pulling forage through the intended openings. A loose net can be awkward to load when you are working alone, especially with an impatient muzzle waiting nearby. None of these issues sounds dramatic by itself, but together they turn a basic barn task into one more system that demands attention.
Then the cycle repeats. You sweep up loose hay, replace what was mixed into bedding, reload the feeder, and adjust whatever shifted since the last check. You may try hanging the net differently, moving the rack, offering smaller portions, or accepting more frequent refills. Each workaround fixes one annoyance while leaving another in place. Your horse still needs reliable access, and you still need equipment that can stand up to an everyday stall routine.
That is the trap with generic hay storage: containment alone is not slow feeding, and slow feeding alone does not guarantee an easy barn routine. Without the right combination of spacing, capacity, a covered top, wall-mounted construction, and straightforward loading, you are left choosing which inconvenience to tolerate rather than solving the whole problem.

The Solution
A Lidded Rack That Directs Feeding Through the Bars
The Schneiders® Easy-Up® Pro Mounted Flat Wall Hay Rack with Lid brings the key parts of the feeding setup into one wall-mounted unit. Its front is formed from 3/4-inch tubing with bars spaced 2 inches apart, giving your horse defined openings through which to pull hay. The lid closes the top so your horse is directed toward those openings rather than reaching down into the rack. Because the feeder mounts against a flat wall, it keeps the hay station contained within a clear, dedicated area of the stall.
The specifications are practical and easy to understand: the rack measures 27 inches high by 27 inches wide by 16 inches deep and holds up to four large flakes of hay. That capacity gives you room for a meaningful feeding without requiring an oversized floor-standing box. The heavy-duty tubing construction is built for daily barn use, while the Gray Armor option gives the feeder a clean, workmanlike finish. A seven-year warranty provides an additional, clearly defined measure of product backing.
For your horse, the design means access through consistent 2-inch bar spacing and a lid that prevents feeding from the top. The rack can be positioned on a flat stall wall at a height appropriate for your setup, allowing you to create a more natural feeding position while keeping hay contained. There is no separate net to hold open during loading, and the spacious front provides access across the width of the feeder. Your horse can work through the available hay while the rack remains fixed in its designated place.
For you, the payoff is a simpler routine. You can load as many as four large flakes, secure the lid, and move on to the next stall without tying a net or gathering hay from several feeding points. The 27-by-27-inch face offers useful capacity without taking over the entire wall, and the 16-inch depth keeps the profile manageable. It is a straightforward answer for horse owners who want slow-feed spacing, a covered top, wall-mounted organization, and durable construction in one piece of equipment. Backed by a seven-year warranty and equine expertise from a family business trusted since 1948, it is built around the realities of daily barn care.
