Shipping Information

Each Paddock Hay OptiMizer weighs about 100 pounds and is shipped on a pallet. Up to four Paddock OptiMizers can be shipped on one pallet. They are delivered by large, commercial transport trucks. After you place your order, you will be sent the anticipated shipping date within two business days. You will be sent shipping details, including the carrier, tracking number, and delivery date on the day your order is shipped. You will be called by the carrier to schedule delivery. Please ensure that someone inspects your shipment prior to accepting or signing its receipt. If there is any shipping damage to an OptiMizer, refuse the shipment and have the damaged OptiMizer reloaded on the truck and returned to us so we can send you a replacement. If you accept or sign for an OptiMizer that has been damaged in transit, it is your responsibility and we cannot provide a replacement free of charge.

For one OptiMizer, a regular truck without a liftgate will be scheduled. One OptiMizer can be lifted off a truck by hand assuming you have two able-bodied people available to receive the delivery. For orders of two or more OptiMizers, a special truck with a liftgate will be used to ensure the products are safely lowered to the ground.


 Please note, on August 22, 2026 there was a 50% tariff implemented on products manufactured in Canada. This additional charge has affected the price of this product. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to contact us with any questions.

The OptiMizer InStall is like a “pasture in a box” for a horse. It is a durable slow feeder that can hold up to 50 pounds of hay, enough to keep most horses content all the time they are in their stalls.

In a study comparing the amount of hay used in OptiMizer InStalls vs. hay nets, there was an 11% savings in hay with the OptiMizers. And the horses always had hay left in their OptiMizers in the morning. How nice to be greeted by calm and content horses versus hungry horses with empty hay nets.  

The OptiMizer InStall was designed to be mounted in the corner of a stall and measures 29″ by 29″ and is 22″ deep. The mounting height is up to you, based on your horses’ requirements. OptiNet knotless netting drapes over the hay as it is consumed slowly through the openings. The netting is mounted on a stainless steel assembly and it just takes two fingers in the horse proof latch to open and close the net.

The OptiMizer InStall has one drainage hole for cleaning the feeder. The InStall can be used to pre-soak hay prior to feeding. Simply use a sink plug to plug the drainage hole and place a bucket under the InStall to catch the water when you pull the plug. The InStall can be used outside mounted in shelters or fence corners. A second 1” drainage hole may be needed to ensure adequate drainage if the OptiMizer InStall is out in the rain.
