These nets can be used at ground level (if your horse is shod enclose the net in a bin) or hanging.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>The Small(2-3B) size fits 2-3 biscuits of hay and is ideal for the float\/trailer or for goats and sheep.<\/li>\n<li>Being smaller, it needs to be hand filled or use this handy Haynet Filler.<\/li>\n<li>The Half Bale size fits 4-5 biscuits or half a bale. Has a wide opening to enable easy loading by slipping over the end of an intact bale so you can then cut the bale strings.<\/li>\n<li>The Full Bale size fits a whole small square bale of hay. Its wide opening slips over the intact bale &#8211; just cut the bale strings before feeding.<\/li>\n<li>By custom order: X-Large 2x1m bale &#8211; fits a big rectangular bale that measure 2m x 1m x 1m (approx.7&#8242; x 3&#8242; x 3&#8242;).

Soaked hay should be fed immediately in warm to hot climates so there isn&#8217;t time for mold to develop &#8211; we recommend only soaking a small net of hay at a time for one horse\/pony.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more info on using Slow Feeder Hay nets and feeding systems <a
