Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Travel Haynet is designed for horse owners who prioritize organized, healthy feeding while on the move, making it an essential accessory for horseboxes and trailers. Its primary benefit is the 1.5-inch mesh design, which encourages slow, natural grazing to support digestive health, though its 4kg capacity means it may require frequent refilling for horses with higher hay intake needs on very long journeys.

FAQs
Is this haynet suitable for ponies?
Yes, the 1.5-inch mesh size is excellent for ponies, especially those on a controlled diet or prone to laminitis.
Can I use this for soaked hay?
While it can be used for soaked hay, ensure you let the hay drip-dry thoroughly before stuffing the net to keep the environment hygienic.
How do I secure the haynet in a trailer?
Use a standard heavy-duty twine or a quick-release clip attached to a designated tie-ring at a safe height.
How often should I clean the net?
Regularly brush off dust. Deep clean whenever you notice a buildup of dirt or if the hay becomes wet and muddy.
What is the maximum weight it can hold?
The net is designed for a 4kg capacity, which is optimal for the size and mesh tension.
Is the material safe for horses?
The KM Elite Travel Haynet is handcrafted with durable, horse-safe materials designed to withstand equine contact.
Troubleshooting
Horse is frustrated by the slow feed rate.
Ensure the hay is packed loosely rather than tightly to allow the horse to pull strands through the mesh more easily.
Haynet hanging too low.
Use a shorter lead or adjustable carabiner to elevate the net, ensuring it hangs well above the floor or the horse's knees.
Visible wear or loose knots.
Inspect the net before every use; if knots become loose or the mesh begins to fray significantly, discontinue use to prevent potential ingestion or entanglement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Promotes healthy digestion through slow feeding
- Reduces expensive hay waste significantly
- Compact size ideal for confined trailer spaces
- Suitable for horses and ponies with health concerns like laminitis

Cons
- 4kg capacity may be insufficient for horses needing constant access to large volumes of hay
- Requires manual stuffing which can be time-consuming
- Fixed mesh size may not be suitable for all types of coarse forage
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the haynet, fill it to its 4kg limit and use the reinforced top loops to secure it to a stable tie-ring within your horsebox or trailer. Ensure the net is hung high enough that the horse's hoof cannot get caught if they paw at the net, but low enough for comfortable eating. Compatibility is universal across most standard horse trailer setups. To care for your net, periodically shake it out to remove dust and debris. If the net becomes heavily soiled, hand wash it with mild, horse-safe detergent and allow it to air dry completely before re-filling to prevent mold or mildew growth.
