Overview

Updated to make the slow-feeding experience even better, the HelixFeeder with Adjustable Holes Gen. II from KiwiFeeder offers a safe way to slow down your enthusiastic eater at home and on the go! 

Designed to mimic the horse's natural head-down grazing position, this feeder collapses as your horse eats providing the added benefit of never obscuring their vision. The unique construction uses no strings, netting, or ropes, ensuring even shod horses cannot get tangled. It can hold up to 40 lbs of hay for multiple days of feeding, however, it works just as well with smaller amounts.

The updated design features a more durable mesh construction with reinforcement along the top to protect it from aggressive eaters. This slow-feeder is fully UV-rated so the sun won't deteriorate it and it can withstand temperatures from -40 to +50 degrees.

Product Details

The manufacturer suggests that 3.5" holes be used for horses up to 16hh and 4" holes be used for horses over 16hh. The RW crew suggests that if you plan to use this feeder for alfalfa, you consider using it with 4" holes. 

The new adjustable plate features 5 pre-set adjustments to allow you to select a feed hole size between 3 inches and 4¾ inches in size.  It takes just 5 minutes to rotate the plates to make a feed hole adjustment.  Like the previous feed plates, the MultiPlate can take any horse abuse, it’s extremely robust at just under ¾” inches thick. The MultiPlate system also works with previous HelixFeeders.

About KiwiFeeders:

KiwiFeeders started making horse feeders after their first horse, Kiwi, developed laminitis over 10 years ago. They were not satisfied with the options for slow feeders that were available at the time with the ability to soak hay. There were almost non-existent or extremely expensive.  After rigorous testing and development, they created their first slow feeder, the KiwiFeeder. Through the success of the Kiwi's design, they developed the HelixFeeder. The HelixFeeder has all the benefits of the KiwiFeeder but with great portability and large hay capacity. They believe it is the best slow feeder in the market today.

KiwiFeeders have been making the HelixFeeder for over 4 years and it has become their main feeder.  It is being used with horses of all sizes, minis, donkeys, goats, and in commercial horse boarding stables.

They are a Canadian business and their feeders are manufactured in Canada.

Cool product!I have a food aggressive horse who has been slow fed with hay nets for a few years now, and I definitely had to secure this feeder because he is destructive. I think this Gen II version is an upgrade from the original Kiwi feeder, and it does keep hay cleaner; there is practically no leftover hay on the ground to nibble on, so I feel this is a great solution for horses eating in sandy areas. I personally still like the convenience (if you would call it that) of having several hay nets ready to then clip over the fence - versus taking the Kiwi feeder in and out every time it needs to be refilled. I think this is well-suited for people with laminitic horses, especially if you need to soak hay!

Great!This new and improved Helix design is great compared to the original Kiwi, but I knew I had to secure the feeder to the fence one way or another - or else it would've ended up at the bottom of my horse's hilly paddock every single day. It is straightforward to use and definitely easier to fill compared to hay nets! However, I personally still prefer the 'inconvenience' of filling several hay nets (with a smaller hole size) at a time and weighing each to more closely monitor how much my older gelding is eating on a daily basis. My specific horse, who is food-aggressive and sometimes acts like he's starving (trust me... he's not), just tends to still gorge himself if he has food access through bigger holes like the ones on this feeder; even when they're adjusted to smallest size. I do feel this feeder is fantastic for keeping hay cleaner though! There is very minimal hay waste on the surrounding ground, so you know your horse isn't picking up a bunch of dirt, shavings, or other debris while they're trying to eat up hay scraps. The Helix feeder keeps everything clean and contained!

Game changer!This product is absolutely amazing. I've used it for years, and it is so much easier, more effective, and a lot safer than alternative feeders. My horse loves it, and it keeps her tummy happy! Added bonus: it keeps hay from getting soiled and turned to waste in the stall. A must-have!
