Troubleshooting

Hold the net open by the top ring while using your knee to stabilize the bottom before inserting flakes.
Net swings too much when the horse eats
Use the bottom ring to anchor the net to a wall ring or a weight to minimize movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Lincoln Hay Net, thread a lead rope or carabiner through the top ring and secure it to a stable tie ring or cross-tie. Ensure the net is hung at shoulder height to prevent the horse from catching a hoof in the mesh. Regarding compatibility, this standard model is ideal for ponies and horses that require controlled intake. Maintenance is straightforward: periodically inspect the mesh for any tears or frayed sections caused by heavy use. To clean, soak the net in a bucket of water with a mild, horse-safe disinfectant, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before the next use to prevent mold or mildew buildup.
