" We are seeing a hay savings of 25% since we started using Big Bale Buddy.It is effective , durable, inexpensive and easy to use, also completely safe for our horses, everybody should have one!"
Joanne and Marty White, J&M farms, L'amble Ontario
Thankyou very much Jenise, I am very pleased with my big bale buddies so far. The first 2 buddies where used in 1) a paddock where our 2 broodmares and their 5 month old foals are with a run in. The mares and foals adjusted to the buddy very well and I am on my third round bale with them. It collapses just as you said it would and then I just dump the last bit onto the ground for them to clean up. No tears or any thing like that. The second buddy went into a daily turnout paddock where our horses in training are turned out 1 - 2 or 4 at a time. We also put a round bale in each of the other daily turnout paddocks and removed the strings as we always have done in the past. We rotated the horses into the buddy paddock in varying numbers. These are all active thoroughbred 3 day event horses with shoes and corks on all around. They all love the bale buddy and have not attempted to destroy it as yet. The bale buddy paddock still has a nice shape to the bale with it about half eaten, the other round bales in the other paddocks, on the other hand are strewn about and peed and pooped on. This test result is what lead us to invest in 4 more bale buddies for all of our paddocks. We think you have a great product and are recommending it to people. It is a much safer alternative than putting the bales out with the strings on or in metal feeder as both can cause leg injuries.

" Our horses are no longer using their expensive hay for bedding, thank you Big Bale Buddy! Your product has paid for itself many times over and I no longer have to worry about our animals eating dirty hay."
Ron and Chris Durning, Windy Hill Pintos, Cranbrook B.C.
I would recommend the Bale Buddy for several reasons. One is that is doesn’t do any damage to a horses’ mane, like other bale feeders do. The other is that they are very safe – no leg injuries or cuts and gouges like you can get with the metal feeders. Nice and light to handle too – no heavy slugging to tip a feeder over. The horses seemed to enjoy the fact that they could get much closer to the hay, and all in all, I think they worked very well.

We feed Hay to our horses year round and are going into the second year of using our Big Bale Buddy. Not only has it saved us money because we had to buy less hay, it has also saved us time because we do not have to clean up all that wasted hay. Thank you for a great product.

We are using our Big Bale Buddy for our stallion. He is very social and housed beside a small group of mares, foals a gelding and another stallion. Having his own round bale of hay ensures that he can 'graze' all day and not get into mischief. He has been extremely clean with the Buddy cleaning up any hay that drops out and lays around it. We have been experiencing some strong winds over the last few days and are amazed at how well the hay has been contained and kept clean for him to eat. We did have a slight struggle getting it on the bale as our hay supplier produces 6 to 8 hundred pound bales and it took two of us to cram the bale into the bag making a nice snug package.
We feel that this is an amazing product. We have fought the urge to use steel round bale feeders in the past but were forced to purchase two at the end of the summer as hay was becoming wet so fast and then a large amount of the bale was becoming contaminated. Our fear has always been injury from a horse becoming trapped in the feeder should an dispute occur between animals. This product presents an alternative.
"What a great invention! It really has cut down on the amount of waste I get when feeding round bales to my horses; especially when the weather is so wet. I can't imagine feeding round bales without it:-)
Jennifer Verhulst, Lakefield, Ontario
I purchased the Big Bale Buddy hay bags in January and I couldn’t be happier with them. They have definitely saved me a lot of money because the horses are just not wasting the hay the way they did before. I think I have saved at least 20% on hay costs since I started using the Buddies. We are also saving time with clean up as there are no strings to have to pick up after they have eaten their round bales.
I am happy with the safety aspect of the bags as well. I have always been hesitant about getting steel feeders as I was concerned about one of the horses getting hurt. There are no worries whatsoever with the Big Bale Buddy. As an added (and unexpected) bonus, my horses are now fearless of tarps as they think now it might possibly hold food for them.
I have to also comment about the service from Jenise at Buddy Incorporated. She returns calls and ships the product promptly and has been excellent about replacing 2 of my Buddies that have gotten holes in them from the horses. This is seriously one of the best farm investments I have made and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I absolutely love the Bale Buddies . It has allowed me to feed almost all of my horses round bales outside, as before they would trash the bales and I would have so much waste. The amount I am saving is huge.
Sandy Mcloughlin, Tarwin Farm - Ontario
I think the big bale buddy is great. We have had it on less then a week and can't believe how much hay it has saved us already .
Lorna Mackay, Kincardine, Ontario
We are VERY pleased with our bale buddy, with the shortage of hay this year it has been wonderful to put hay out and not see it wasted. Thanks again for a great and affordable product!!!! Sandy King
