Slow Feed Hay Net Material Resists Horse Bites

The slow feed hay net is made from durable polyester, a new material from 2023, which is softer and more wear-resistant than traditional nylon and polypropylene. This material is designed to withstand horse bites and resist damage, ensuring that the net remains intact even when horses chew on it. The knotless design further protects the horse’s lips and muzzle, reducing the risk of injury while grazing.

Suitability for Outdoor and Indoor Use

Of course, the slow-feed hay net is suitable for outdoor use. You can place it in the stable, hang it in the paddock, or fix it under the railing. Setting up multiple feeding points both indoors and outdoors helps reduce boredom and restlessness in horses. It can be used in various weather conditions, making it a versatile feeding solution.

Ease of Installation and Use

Absolutely. The hay net has a large opening for easy filling, which saves you time. It comes with 4 carabiners, 2 handle loops at each end, and 1 support strap in the middle. These features make it simple to hang in the stable, trailer, or fix in a box, ensuring secure placement and easy setup.

Differences Between Various Hole Sizes

1″ Holes: Ideal for Ponies and Dust-Sensitive Horses

These are suitable for ponies, dust-sensitive horses, and dry stables or warehouses. The smaller holes minimize air circulation, which helps keep the hay dry and reduces the impact of dust on the horse’s respiratory tract.

1.2″ Holes: Perfect for Weight-Controlled and Healthy Horses

These fit weight-controlled, healthy horses and environments with little humidity change. They keep the hay fresh and properly ventilated, striking a balance between air circulation and dust control.

1.75″ Holes: Best for Large Horses and Those Starting Slow Feeding

These are ideal for horses with indigestion issues, larger horses, and those starting to feed slowly. The larger holes slow down hay consumption and provide optimal ventilation, especially in open, wet conditions.

Tailoring the Feeding Experience with Your Slow Feed Hay Net

By choosing the appropriate hole size, you can tailor the feeding experience to the specific needs of your horses, ensuring they stay healthy and content.
