Product Information
Full details
The Hy Equestrian Slow Flow Ultra Haynet is an ideal solution for horse owners managing greedy feeders, animals on strict diets, or those requiring controlled ad-lib forage intake to support digestive health. Featuring a durable, double-layered design with 4cm mesh holes, this net effectively slows consumption and minimizes feed wastage. While it offers excellent regulation of hay intake, owners should note that it is best suited for dry hay and requires consistent monitoring to ensure horses can access feed easily.

FAQs
How much hay does the net hold?
The Hy Equestrian Slow Flow Ultra Haynet holds approximately 7kg of dry hay.
What size are the holes in the net?
The mesh holes are 4cm in diameter, designed specifically to slow down forage consumption.
Is this net suitable for soaked hay?
The net is designed primarily for dry hay; if using for soaked hay, ensure it is thoroughly drained, as the weight of the water may affect the structural integrity of the net.
Can I use this for ponies?
Yes, it is excellent for ponies and horses that require controlled forage intake or are prone to obesity.
How do I maintain the net?
Regularly inspect for wear, keep it clean by removing debris, and wash with mild disinfectant if it becomes soiled.
Is the double-layer design difficult to fill?
While the double-layer design adds durability, it may require a little more effort to pack than a standard thin haynet.
Troubleshooting
Horse is struggling to pull hay through the holes
Ensure the hay is not packed too tightly into the net and consider using slightly softer hay until the horse adjusts to the resistance.
The net is showing signs of fraying
Check if the horse is pawing at the net, which can damage the mesh, and consider adjusting the hanging height to keep it out of reach of hooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the net, ensure it is tied securely at a height that allows the horse to feed in a natural position, avoiding loose loops that could trap a hoof. When filling, shake the hay to ensure it reaches the bottom of the double-layer mesh. For care, regularly inspect the net for any broken strings or large gaps caused by wear and tear. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use to prevent mildew. If the net becomes heavily soiled, it can be soaked in water with a mild, horse-safe disinfectant and air-dried completely before the next use.
