Derby OriginalsRipstop 24 Oz Canvas Feed Bag with Padded Leather Crown Strap for Safety and No-Spill Flap Design

Love the durability of this horse feedbag. I have used several different brands and this one is especially sturdy. It's made of a heavy canvas material with a nice leather strap. We have a mare who was spilling her supplements out of her mesh feed bag, but this one keeps them in. She will occasionally dunk it in the water trough, but the canvas seems to still keep in the supplements. I learned quickly to get the darker colors because the white canvas quickly got muddied in our muddy paddock! I recommend this feedbag!

I use feed bags on all my horses and have for years. There is no better way to avoid waste of supplements and feed. It is also the best way to make sure who you want to get certain feeds or supplements actually gets them. The problem with most feedbags is that they just don't last. The Cashel feed bags are the worst and do not hold up. There is nothing out there quite like this good old fashioned canvas bag. It is affordable and holds up sufficiently though I have one mare that chews through the bottom every 3 to 4 months. At least with the canvas it is repairable so way easier to keep it going than other brands. Here is a tip though... any feed bag will start to smell after some regular use. I spray mine down with warm water after every few uses and keep them hung to dry each day. Every week I spritz them down with apple cider vinegar and let them hang 15 to 20 min before feeding. The horses don't mind the apple cider vinegar at all and a couple actually seem to really like it. The bags never get that nasty odor when I follow this routine.

It worked great at keeping the vultures (goats, horses and ponies) out of our Percheron's supplements, but it was snug around the nose and the straps were *barely* long enough to attach it. It would have been nice to have a couple more inches in either area so she has some breathing room. I may have to make a new head strap to loosen it a bit, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. The fabric seems durable and it served it's purpose well, but I don't expect it to last forever because horses love to destroy anything we spend our money on.

Plenty of adjustment, and so easy to get off with the side clip. I recommend having a bucket or something for them to set it on because to get the last inch or so of feed they have to be able to push it down, so they will do it on the ground if you don't give them something else to do it on. That gets it rather dirty on the outside so I have to rinse them off once in awhile. I primarily was interested in these because I had a few mules that were hard to catch. Now if I have this nose bag in my hand they come running up and I slip it over there ears. When they are done eating I can walk right up to them to take it off. So maybe they're not easier to catch in general, but if I have that nose bag in my hand they are! I've even used it to entice my mule onto the trailer! We just have a better relationship since I stayed using them. It's a nice heavy duty bag.

It broke within 20 minutes of the first use, I returned just to find out they take a month to refund you if the product is in unused condition... of course is not...

First bought a mesh bag that my cribber destroyed and found this one to replace it. Wish I had found this one first! Much more durable for my horse that tries to crib while eating with it on.

They function and don’t fall apart but the get pretty grimy.

I have a gelding that's very hard on his feedbag.he wasn't able to get ot off or paw ahold into it yet
