The design and arrangement of facilities in the tack and feed room have the biggest influence on stable management. Facilities which are well planned and well designed make horse care easier and more enjoyable.

Feeding is one of the most important tasks around the stable and should be a pleasurable experience. However, in a poorly arranged feed room this task can become cumbersome and detrimental to the health of the horse.

Feed must be located in a convenient position away from moisture, be vermin proof and there must also be quick and easy access for removing old feed and replenishing with new when empty. Water and/or moisture will spoil the feed making it unpalatable and will accelerate the rotting process.

The amount of feed storage required depends upon the number of horses to be fed, their feed requirements and how often the feed needs to be replenished. Feed storage units should be small and light enough to moved if required, but also large enough to ensure adequate feed is stored and not need refilling every few days. If the feed storage unit is too small, the feed which does not fit into the unit is often left in the feed room in open bags encouraging the possibility of contamination, accelerated nutritional loss and the inability to clean the feed room on a regular basis: A priority if health and safety are to be maintained.

Feedlockers have been designed to hold a full bag of chaff alon with additional feed requirements. The feed locker ensures that the feed is used on a first-in-first-out basis. This ensures that the horse always recieves a consistent feed, vital to a healthy diet.

Easy and safe to use, secure, robust, yet light enough to move when empty, the Feedlocker is the ultimate solution for feed storage!
