In any barn, feeding practices play a critical role in equine health— particularly when it comes to digestive function, respiratory wellness, and overall condition. Diller Equine has built its reputation around a simple but powerful concept: improving how horses eat hay to support long-term health and reduce waste. Horses are designed to graze continuously, and extended gaps between forage intake can disrupt gut health, increasing the risk of ulcers and digestive imbalance. Diller’s hay-saving feeders are engineered to slow consumption, encouraging more natural, steady intake patterns that better align with the horse’s digestive system. By regulating how quickly hay is consumed, these feeders help promote consistent gut activity— key to maintaining overall wellness and condition. Equally important iskeepinghaycleanandofftheground.When forage is fed directly on dirt or mud, it becomes vulnerable to contamination frommoisture, manure, and bacteria—conditions that can contribute to mold growth and, in serious cases, botulism risk. Diller feeders address this by elevating hay within a durable, heavy-duty steel structure, paired with a wide catch pan that minimizes waste and prevents horses from pulling hay onto the ground. Designed with both horse safety and barn practicality in mind, Diller feeders feature smoothfinisheswithno sharpedges, roof systems that protect hay from the elements, and hay-saving baskets that ensure even, controlled access. Built in the USA and backed by a three-year warranty, they offer a long-term solution for barns focused on both efficiency and equine health.
