Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Deluxe Two-Colour Haynet is designed for horse owners seeking a reliable, slow-feed solution that minimizes waste while promoting better digestion through steady grazing. Ideal for both stabled horses and those traveling in horseboxes, this 40-inch handcrafted net encourages natural chewing habits to help reduce gulping. While it provides excellent control over feed consumption, users should note that the 2-inch holes are specifically engineered for moderate pacing, which may not be slow enough for horses requiring ultra-restricted intake.

FAQs
How much hay does the haynet hold?
The net has a capacity of approximately 6.5kg of hay, depending on the density and quality of the forage.
Can I use this net in a trailer?
Yes, its design is suitable for use in horseboxes and trailers, making it a great option for maintaining feeding routines on the move.
Is this suitable for horses prone to colic?
By slowing down consumption and increasing saliva production, this net helps support healthy digestion, which is beneficial for many horses, though you should consult your vet regarding specific medical concerns.
What is the size of the mesh holes?
The net features 2-inch holes, which are designed to balance slow-feeding benefits with ease of access for the horse.
How do I clean the net?
You can soak the net in a mild, horse-safe detergent, rinse it thoroughly with clean water, and hang it to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Net appears to be wearing at the top rings
Ensure the net is not being over-stuffed and that it is hung using a break-away system to prevent excessive tension on the iron rings.
Horse is eating too quickly despite using the net
Check that the hay is packed firmly rather than loosely, as loose hay allows for easier 'plucking' through the 2-inch holes.
Net is picking up mud from the field
Raise the hanging height of the net so that it remains at least 6-12 inches off the ground, preventing it from resting in dirt or puddles.
Pros and Cons

- Highly durable construction with iron rings

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your haynet, ensure it is tied securely at an appropriate height—ideally at shoulder level or slightly lower—to allow for natural head positioning while preventing the horse from getting a hoof caught in the mesh. When filling, shake the hay into the bottom of the net to ensure even distribution. For maintenance, periodically inspect the high-chrome iron rings for any signs of surface rust or wear. If the net becomes heavily soiled, soak it in a non-toxic, equine-safe disinfectant and rinse thoroughly with water, allowing it to air dry completely before re-use.
