Our most popular hole size, 40mm / 1 ¾” it is the ideal starting point if you’re new to slow feeding or unsure where to begin. It delivers genuine slow feeding, enough restriction to extend eating time and reduce waste without tipping into frustration. In our experience, it’s readily accepted by 90% of horses of horses once introduced correctly. Good for slightly stalky hay, where you don't wish to slow down too much but still reap the rewards of hay saving and increasing the longevity of the hay you are feeding out. 

A 40mm / 1 ¾” provides balanced control that slows intake to a natural, steady pace, reduces waste, supports a calmer routine with longer nibble time, and offers an easy transition before finer sizes; it’s best suited to pasture and slightly stalky/oaten hays and to good doers, easy keepers, horses new to slow feeding, and mixed herds where one size needs to suit most.
