They cost so much, and Luna was just wasting hay left right and centre. I would put it down, and she would roll in it, flatten it, and then wouldn't eat it after because she had rolled her dirty big horse body all over it LOL So I built one of these! ... Last time I looked into buying one, they were running about $400, this cost me under $100 to build.
I still have to add the trough under the manger to catch the chaff, but it has gone into use early because they needed to be hayed tonight. It is about 6ft high (I will make the next one shorter with a wider base), and 4ft long and holds one 60lb hay bale really well.
