Our Hay Nets and Bags

The Original 2” mesh is a great place to start feeding your horses. If your goal is to reduce waste but not necessarily your horse's waist line, then this is the net for you. Most horses do very well on this net, but may consume more than desired. This net is great for the following issues: Heaves, Choking, Colic prone horses, Reducing waste, Herd aggression, Hard keepers, Senior horses,  those with Ulcers. 

Slow Feed Netting (Slow Feed Extreme / Opening size: 1" Mesh) The Slow Feed Extreme is our second smallest mesh that we carry and should not be used when introducing a horse to slow feeding. We recommend that horse owners start with the 2” web then over the course of time wean their horse to the 1” mesh web. Horses that don't maintain a good weight using the Slow Feed should be transitioned to the 1”. It's great for the extreme cases of metabolic disorders, for horses that are on stall rest, or for sheep and goats.

Remember that if your horse or goat creates a hole in the net to tie it closed. It is recommended to look closely at the net every day to inspect it for any holes that your animal may get caught up in.

The Slow Feed 1” mesh size is great for slowing down the speed at which your animal consumes hay, making the ration last much longer. Please keep in mind that your animal may become irritated due to the size of the opening. They may start to bite and paw at the net to get at their feed. This net is the next step for animals that may be too “ efficient on the Original (2”") mesh size. This net is great for most metabolisms and offers all the benefits of the Original size with a few extras as well. This mesh size is great for:

• Metabolically challenged horses, donkeys and mules 
• Mini horses, burros, donkeys and mini-mules 
• Any horses that need to be slowed down 
• Horses that can't be "free-fed" (allowed access to unlimited hay) 

Always offer free choice hay along with your Slow Feed Net until your animals have learned to successfully graze from it.

A smaller 1 1/4" hole size, means extended eating times and less waste. Fits over a standard square bale. This slow feed hay net is designed especially for ponies or those easy keepers.

Advantages of the Slow Feed Netting System

• Canadian-made, woven, knotless, UV protected,  Nylon netting

• Less waste! Not only saves dollars, but time and space
• Healthier feeding - slow delivery as opposed to the gorge and starve cycle which is hard on horses' systems.
• Reduced maintenance - nets can hold days worth of food 
• No more fighting over feed - it's always available

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME FEEDING YOUR HORSES BY THE USE OF SLOW FEED NETTING WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND STARTING WITH A 2"  MESH PRODUCT.  AFTER USING THE PRODUCT FOR SOME TIME THEN WEAN THEM TO THE 1 ¼" MESH OPENING, THEN FINALLY DOWN TO THE 1" MESH OPENING.
