Only a horse person could fall in love with something as un-sexy as a hay steamer. Seriously, horse owners and barn managers will love these hay steamers as a clean and convenient way to remove dust and other allergens from hay.
Repeated exposure to the dust, mites, and fungal spores present in some hay can cause serious damage to a horse’s respiratory system. While soaking hay reduces its nutritional content (required for some equine conditions), it does not kill harmful bacteria and fungi. Steaming, on the other hand, keeps nutritional value intact while neutralizing harmful allergens.
The hay steamer provides a a temperature-controlled, effective means of steaming hay for horses with COPD and other respiratory reactions to dusty hay. Nominated for the 2009 Equitana innovation awards, UK-based Happy Horse makes several models that accommodate different volumes of hay – from the Traveller Steamer to Stablemate to Bale Buster.
