➡️ The voucher code is located directly in the instructions.

With the POWER Hero, you can turn your existing wooden or metal feeder into a fully automated, timed feeding system – without having to buy an expensive new feeder. 

• ✅ Flexible feeding times: Up to 20 individual feeding times can be conveniently set via smartphone, perfectly tailored to your stable and your horses. 

• 🔌 Easy installation: The system can be connected to the existing power supply and works with wooden or metal feeders. 

• 🐴 Gentle and safe: The feeder gate is gently moved upwards by a tubular motor; integrated limit switches, a time limit, and guide rail stoppers prevent the risk of injury. 

• 💪 Practical and efficient: The hay feeder remains easily machine-fillable and saves you time and effort — ideal for stable owners who value comfort and control. 

With POWER HERO, you invest in a simple, intelligent solution for your horse – for more even feeding, better weight control, and less feed waste.

SHINING Hero – Your Hay Feeder Goes Smart

Are you tired of getting up early in the morning to portion hay for your horses — only for them to overeat throughout the day? With SHINING Hero, your stable goes on autopilot: Our timed feeder handles the feeding — reliably, individually, and efficiently. 

✅ Why SHINING Hero will change your stable life

• Automatic feeding via app or timer – Set up to 20 individual feeding times per day: to the minute, regularly, or at fixed intervals. This way, your horse always eats when it should — not when you have time. 

• Solar-powered & autonomous – The SHINING HERO operates with 12 V and solar power. Ideal for remote stables without a grid connection or if you want to remain flexible. 

• Healthy horses – lower feed costs – Needs-based, portioned feeding prevents obesity and overeating. You save feed, labor, and protect your animals' health. 

• Comfort & time savings – No more constant checking, refilling, or portioning: Once installed, the system handles everything. You gain your freedom — and your horse gets its sensible diet.
