Product Information
Full details
The Hy Equestrian Slow Flow Haynet is an essential tool for horse owners seeking to manage their equine companion's dietary intake and digestive health through controlled feeding. Designed specifically for greedy eaters or those on restricted diets, this durable haynet features 3cm holes that promote natural trickle feeding behavior, though it may require patience for horses unaccustomed to restricted access compared to standard large-mesh nets.

FAQs
How much hay can this net hold?
It is designed to hold approximately 7kg of dry hay.
What is the size of the mesh holes?
The mesh features 3cm holes, specifically designed to restrict intake.
Can I use this for soaked hay?
Yes, but ensure you allow the net to drain fully before hanging, and be aware that wet hay may become heavier and slightly more difficult for the horse to pull through the small holes.
Is this suitable for a horse with dental issues?
Horses with severe dental problems may struggle to pull forage through small mesh holes; consult your veterinarian if you are concerned about your horse's ability to eat comfortably.
How do I secure the haynet safely?
Always use a quick-release knot or a breakaway tie to secure the haynet, ensuring it is hung at an appropriate height to avoid the risk of entanglement.
Troubleshooting
Horse is frustrated by the slow intake
Begin by mixing in a small amount of loose hay on the floor while the horse gets used to pulling from the net, or use two nets for the first few days.
Net showing signs of fraying
Check if the horse is pulling forcefully against the net when empty, and ensure it is not snagging on stable hardware or sharp edges.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Promotes healthier digestion through trickle feeding
- Significantly reduces forage waste and mess
- Ideal capacity for long-duration stabling
- Durable design holds up to regular daily use
Cons
- Small mesh may be challenging for horses unused to restricted feeding
- Filling a net with 3cm holes takes more time than standard nets
- Not suitable for extremely coarse or stalky hay that is difficult to pull through small holes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the haynet, ensure it is hung at a safe height—typically at chest level or slightly higher—to prevent the horse from catching a hoof in the net. When filling, pack the hay tightly enough to hold its shape but leave enough room at the top to secure the drawstring properly. Regularly inspect the net for any frayed cords or enlarged holes; if a hole becomes damaged or widened, discontinue use to avoid safety hazards. Keep the net clean by shaking out debris between refills, and occasionally soak it in water to remove excess dust or dirt accumulated during stable use.
