I have had my slow feeder for about 6 weeks and just LOVE the freedom it has allowed me - no longer tied to 3 feedings a day or begging my husband to do one for me. I was concerned as my horse is 20 years old and I was unsure of how he would adapt to this new style of feeding. He appears to be enjoying it - he is very calm and no longer chewing my rail fences ( this alone is worth the price of purchase). I wish I had started out with one of these 20 years ago. I certainly would recommend this product.
