Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Travel/Pony Haynet is designed for horse owners who frequently transport their animals in trailers or horseboxes and need a durable, reliable solution for on-the-go feeding. It excels at minimizing hay waste and managing portion control through its slow-feed design, though users should note that the 23-inch compact size is specifically intended for travel use rather than long-term stall feeding. Crafted from heavy-duty polyethylene, this net ensures your horse maintains a consistent diet while you are on the road.

FAQs
Is this haynet suitable for full-sized horses?
While it is sized for travel and ponies, it can be used for horses. However, you may need to refill it more frequently depending on the duration of your journey.
Can I leave this in a stall permanently?
The net is specifically engineered for travel. While durable, constant use in a stall may lead to quicker wear compared to standard full-sized stall nets.
How do I clean the net?
The best way is to soak it in mild soapy water, rinse thoroughly with a hose, and hang it to dry in a ventilated area.
Will the 1.5-inch holes work with all types of hay?
Yes, it works well with most standard hay types, though very fine, stalky hay may fall through slightly faster than coarse orchard grass.
What is the primary benefit of the thicker polyethylene?
The thicker material provides higher resistance to tearing and fraying, making the net safer and more cost-effective over time.
Troubleshooting
Horse struggling to pull hay through holes
Ensure the net is not overstuffed; loosen the hay slightly when filling to provide better access.
Mesh starting to fray at the top ring
Check that the net is not tied against sharp metal edges in the horsebox and ensure the horse is not aggressively 'stomp-feeding'.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable, thicker polyethylene material for long-lasting use
- Encourages slower, healthier grazing habits
- Compact dimensions ideal for trailer storage
- Significantly reduces hay waste and mess
- Helps keep horses occupied during long journeys
Cons
- Not suitable for horses with extremely small muzzles or unshod ponies prone to pawing
- Size may be too small for full-sized horses requiring large volumes of hay
- Requires proper tying technique to ensure safe height for horses
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the haynet, ensure it is tied at a height that allows the horse to eat with their neck in a natural, slightly lowered position. Avoid tying it too low to prevent hooves from getting caught. When filling, ensure the hay is loosely packed to allow the horse to pull through the mesh holes easily. For care, shake the net out regularly to remove dust and debris. If the net becomes heavily soiled, soak it in a gentle, horse-safe detergent, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before the next use to maintain the integrity of the polyethylene fibers.
