New Slow Feeder haynets

These tough nets are made to last from durable, pre stretched UV stabilised, heavy duty ply, polyethylene netting. The holes are just large enough for the horse to get the hay through without gorging (4cm/1.5" square) – making it last much longer.
The small holes also suit little ponies - but not reccommended to be left on the ground or tied low for shod horses (the net can catch on the horse shoe).
The small size fits 4 biscuits/sections of hay and the large fits a whole small square bale.

Generally, these slow feeder haynets will double or treble the time it takes for the horses to finish the quantity of hay compared to when fed loose.

www.hoofcareunltd.com is a USA site that has some good info on slow feeding and shows haynets in action.

If you are in Europe you can get your haynets from the website below.

www.slowfeeding.com gives a comprehensive overview of what works and what doesn’t with slow feeding systems.

"I find these haynets to be fantastic! They are the most simple to use I have ever come across, and I find feeding out is now made so simple and easy, and I am actually enjoying it!

My overweight pony would eat up her hay in what seemed like minutes. I was constantly out there throwing her small piles, in an effort to feed her small amounts and often. Since I have been using the hay nets ( I have 3 small nets placed around the paddock) she can no longer scoff her hay and is now eating slowly and calmly.
Her mood has changed with this, she is much more content now, and there is no more frantic whinnying whenever she hears me near the hay shed!
She seems much happier and content in herself now, and has also lost weight.
I am thrilled! Plus I love the time I save, no longer having to be out there scattering small piles of hay around the paddock!" Sarah B. New Zealand

"The larger size nets have been fantastic to use in the paddock (contained in a wooden packing crate, minus the top) and has certainly reduced the consumption by about half, not to mention the reduced wastage on the ground.
Our two ponies took no time at all to get used to the smaller holes, did not appear to even notice!" Jane B. UK.

"Just wanted to say LOVE the hay nets :) The horses have worked them out and are happily eating their hay all day now. There is no wastage at all and it lasts twice as long." Grada H. TAS.
