Tech Info
The Porta-Grazer works by allowing only small amounts of hay to be pulled through with each bite which simulates natural grazing behavior.Each bit is eaten as it is pulled through the holes so the feed is not picked through or dropped to the floor where parasites and sand may be ingested.
The restrictor pan lowers to the bottom as the feed is consumed and is easily removed for refilling in less than 10 seconds, yet it is almost impossible for the horse to remove.
The horse's digestive system is designed to receive a constant supply of forage in a slow continuous manner...

The basics of how the PORTA-GRAZER works
Hay is placed in the feeder. Then the restrictor pan is placed on top of the hay. The restrictor pan has a special arrangement of holes sized according to the horses size and type of feed to be consumed. The feed is pulled through the holes as it is being consumed, simulating natural grazing. As the feed is being pulled through the holes, sand and dirt are removed collecting in the bottom of the feeder to be discarded later. Each bite is eaten as it is pulled through the holes not allowing the feed to be picked through or dropped to the floor where parasites and sand may be ingested.
The feed pan can spin and be moved side to side making for easy access to all of the feed. The pan lowers to the bottom as the feed is consumed. The feed pan can be removed quickly and easily lifting it straight up out of the top of the feeder. This action is almost impossible for the horse to achieve. There are no locks, latches or hardware to fool with. To reinsert the pan simply drop it in.
