ABSTRACT:
A method and a feeding device to avoid the ailment of sand colic in horses including a fenced in area with a fence section that does not allow the horse to stick its head through the fence to reach the ground on the outside of the fence section. A feed bucket is supported on a holder on the outside of the fence section such that the horse must lean over the top rail of the fence to eat from the bucket and cannot reach any spilled feed on the ground. The feeding device includes a metal bracket with a circular ring in which the feed bucket fits with a horizontal support member to support the feed bucket from the bottom. The ring and support are welded to a bracket plate which in turn is attached to the fence post.
