  Capricorn Feed Bins  

Capricorn has developed an innovative method to turn tyres inside out without damaging the naturally rounded edges. They have preferred tyre suppliers who supply only quality used tyres. All bins have rubber bottoms, with no sharp metal that can rust, bend or injure horses. Capricorn feed bins are successfully used for horses, cattle, alpacas, goats, laying boxes for hens, cat litter trays, display containers in shops, water bins, beds for pets.

Capricorn Team Page Advantages  

Durable
There are few materials that are as durable as recycled rubber tyres - they're almost indestructible, even by horses! The material used for the bases is also recycled, from heavy-duty industrial rubber belting.

Safe
The soft rubber side walls of recycled car tyres are pliable and have no sharp edges. Ideal for feeding foals and young horses and those horses that are prone to injury, even in stables. All capricorn bins have rubber-matted bottoms.
  Improves Horse Health
Made for ground level 'head down' feeding of all horses, mimicking the grazing position, these bins help increase chewing time before swallowing. This reduces feed particle size for improved digestion, increases salivation to reduce risk of stomach ulcers and drains the airways as horses feed.		  
  Manufacturer  
Lou Verwey is a qualified engineer who has worked in the air pollution control field for more than 20 years. When Lou’s daughters became involved with pony club he too was drawn into the equine world, and learned that there was a need for a feedbin that would suit the needs of the horse, the owner and the environment. Capricorn started to make feedbins in the year 2000 and since then there has been an exponential increase in unit sales.
