So I had been thinking about a way to make feeding the horses easier and faster. We were using these nets to hang half a bale in, but they took a long time to use (probably about 20 minutes for 3 bales of hay) and kept breaking, basically more trouble than they were worth imo. So I decided I would make a hay feeder out of some stuff we had lying around and see how it would work.

I started with some old pieces of grill we were using as a garden trellis this summer, and I took some wood from my sister's ruined yurt that I took down (see my redneck greenhouse thread for a pic of that).

I was trying to figure out how to attach the grill to the frame in a way that it wouldn't be permanent, since we don't need to feed hay in the summer I wanted to be able to use them for trellises again. That's when i saw these pieces of hardware from the yurt and it gave me an idea.

All done! Hopefully it works well enough as is and I don't need to do any serious modifications to it.
