FAQs

How much hay can the haynet hold?

Is the haynet suitable for all horses?

While suitable for most horses, it's essential to monitor your horse's eating habits and ensure it is not frustrated by the small holes. It is not suitable for horses with dental issues or those that eat very quickly.

How often should I clean the haynet?

Clean the haynet regularly, ideally every few days, depending on usage and environmental conditions.

How do I fill the haynet?

Open the top of the haynet and stuff it with hay or the forage block. Ensure it is packed but not overly tight.

What if my horse is aggressive with the haynet?

Monitor your horse's behavior. If they are overly aggressive, consider a different type of slow feeder or a different placement.

Can I use the haynet in the rain?

Yes, but ensure the haynet is placed in a way that minimizes water exposure to prevent the hay from getting wet.

What is the hole size?

The haynet has 3cm holes.

Troubleshooting

Horse is not eating from the haynet.

Ensure the haynet is filled with fresh, palatable hay. Some horses may take time to adjust; try offering a small amount of hay initially, mixed with their regular feed.

Haynet is being damaged or torn.

Check the surrounding environment for any sharp objects. Ensure the haynet is hung high enough and consider a more durable haynet if your horse is particularly destructive.

Horse is getting the haynet tangled.

Ensure the haynet is hung correctly with enough space. Adjust the height or location as necessary, ensuring the horse has enough room to eat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Setup: Hang the haynet in a safe location, such as in the stable, trailer, or lorry. Ensure the hanging point is strong and secure, and at a height suitable for your horse. Avoid hanging the haynet too low, where the horse may get its hooves caught.
  2. Compatibility: The haynet is compatible with most horses and ponies, but it is important to observe the horse's initial interaction with the net and their feeding habits.
  3. Care: Regularly inspect the haynet for any signs of wear and tear, and replace it if necessary. Clean the haynet regularly by hosing it down and allowing it to air dry completely. This prevents the build-up of dirt, mold, and bacteria.
