Product Information
Full details
The Hy Equestrian Slow Flow Ultra Haynet is an ideal solution for horse owners managing greedy feeders, equines on a restricted diet, or those requiring controlled forage access to promote better digestive health. By utilizing a durable, double-layered design with 4cm mesh holes, this net helps extend feeding time and minimizes hay waste across the stable floor, though users should be mindful that it requires proper hanging height to ensure safety and prevent entanglement.

FAQs
How much hay does it hold?
The net is designed to hold approximately 7kg of dry hay.
What is the size of the holes?
The mesh holes are 4cm in size, which is designed to slow down consumption effectively.
Is this safe for shod horses?
If your horse wears shoes, ensure the net is hung high enough that the horse cannot paw at it, as shoes can become caught in any mesh haynet.
Can I use this for haylage?
Yes, it is suitable for haylage, though you should monitor the moisture content as it may settle differently than dry hay.
Is the material weather-resistant?
It is made of durable materials suitable for indoor or covered outdoor use, though it will last longer if kept out of direct, prolonged UV exposure.
Troubleshooting
Horse is frustrated by the slow flow
Ensure the hay is packed loosely rather than tightly compressed to make the initial access easier until the horse adjusts.
The net has small tears
Immediately remove the net from the stable to prevent ingestion of stray fibers and repair using strong baling twine or replace the unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the haynet is filled to a manageable level.
- Hang the net at a height where the bottom rests at the horse's chest level; do not hang it too low to prevent hooves from becoming caught.
- Secure using a quick-release knot or a safe, sturdy haynet clip.
Compatibility:
Suitable for all horse and pony breeds. However, ensure horses wearing rugs with neck covers or those prone to pawing are monitored during the initial introduction to the net.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the net for any frayed cords or broken loops.
- Remove debris and dirt periodically by shaking the net out.
- Hand wash with mild soap and water if the net becomes heavily soiled, and allow to air dry completely before refilling.
