A horse feeder includes a ground supported frame with a basket portion pivotally mounted on the frame for holding hay or similar feeding material. The basket has forward and rearward walls formed of racks to allow horses to pull hay through the rack for feeding. A pair of side walls connect the racks and orient them so as to diverge from the lower end, to receive hay between the forward and rearward racks. The basket is pivotally mounted for selective pivotal movement between a generally upright feeding position and a loading position with the basket pivoted to one side. A handle with a projecting leg is operably mounted to the ground supported frame such that the projecting leg may be selectively journaled through a hole in the adjacent side panel of the basket portion. One hole is located in the basket portion such that the basket will be locked in an upright position. A second hole is located such that the basket will be locked in the loading position, oriented to one side. The handle is spring biased such that the projecting leg will remain in the locked position until manually released. A feed pan is mounted on the frame below the basket portion to receive hay falling from the racks, and to hold grain or other feed for the horses.
