Hook Over Manger - Black

Hook Over Manger – Black

A moulded plastic manger with a hooked back that drops over a fence rail, a gate or a stable door, so a horse can be fed where it stands without a bucket on the floor to be trodden in or tipped over.

This is the black one. Black hides dried feed and staining better than the paler colours, which shows on a yard where the mangers live outdoors and get scrubbed rather than washed. It is sold under Animall's own label and no manufacturer specification is published for it, so no capacity or dimensions are stated below.

Performance & Benefits

• Hooks over a fence rail, gate or stable door without fixings or tools.
• Moulded plastic, so it rinses out and cannot rust.
• Lifts off in one movement for washing or for moving to another horse.
• Black finish, which hides dried feed and staining better than the pale colours.
• Feeding at head height keeps the ration off the ground and out of the mud.

Suitable For

• Feeding at a field gate or over a post-and-rail fence.
• Stable doors, and temporary stabling at shows.
• Yards colour-coding mangers so each horse gets its own ration.
• Horses that tip a bucket over as soon as it goes on the floor.
• Not a fixed stable manger — where the feeder never moves, a corner manger bolted to the wall is the better answer.

How to Use

• Hook it over a rail or door of a thickness it sits down onto squarely, and check it does not rock.
• Feed, then take it off — do not leave it hanging on the fence between meals.
• Wash it out with warm water after wet or soaked feeds and let it dry.
• Keep one per horse if you feed different rations.

Specification

• Colour: black.
• Moulded plastic with an integral hook-over back.
• Barcode 5055517000543.
• Also stocked in blue, pink and white.
• No manufacturer specification is published for this manger under any name, so capacity, dimensions and material grade are not stated here.

Care & Caution

• Take the manger off the fence once the feed has gone. Left hanging it becomes something to chew, and a horse can catch a headcollar or a rug strap on it.
• In a field with more than one horse loose, only feed from mangers if you can separate them — a feeder fixed at head height is something to be pushed into.
