Product Information
Full details
The Lincoln Small Holed Hay Net is designed for horse owners seeking to improve feeding efficiency and reduce forage wastage. This extra-large net is ideal for slow feeding in both stable and pasture environments, encouraging horses to eat at a more natural, steady pace. While it is highly effective at minimizing mess, users should be aware that it requires proper hanging height to ensure safety and prevent potential entanglement for shod horses.

FAQs
Is this hay net safe for shod horses?
It is safe provided it is hung at an appropriate height where the horse cannot put a leg through it. Do not allow the net to hang low enough for a hoof to touch.
Can I use this for all types of hay?
Yes, it works well with most standard hay types, though very fine or brittle hay may fall through the holes more easily.
How do I make filling the net easier?
Many users find that placing the net over a bucket or using a dedicated hay net filler hoop helps keep the opening wide while stuffing.
How often should I inspect the net?
It is recommended to do a quick visual inspection every time you refill the net to ensure there are no large holes that could pose a safety risk.
Can this net be used for wet hay?
Yes, but ensure it is hung in an area with good drainage or where the horse is standing on a clean surface.
Troubleshooting
Horse struggling to pull hay through holes
Ensure the hay is loose and not packed too tightly into the net to make the initial extraction easier for the horse.
Net showing signs of fraying
Check if the net is rubbing against a rough wall or fence surface and adjust the positioning to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, ensure the hay net is secured using a quick-release knot or a safety clip at a height that allows the horse to eat comfortably with its neck in a natural position. For shod horses, it is vital to keep the net high enough to prevent a hoof from becoming trapped if the horse paws at the net. To maintain the life of your net, inspect it weekly for any tears or loose knots. If you notice minor wear, repair it immediately to prevent the holes from enlarging. After the winter season, soak the net in a bucket of water with a mild disinfectant to remove debris and dry it thoroughly before storing it in a cool, dry place.
