Product Information
Full details
The Lincoln Small Holed Hay Net is an ideal solution for horse owners looking to regulate forage intake and minimize feed waste. Designed for durability and efficiency, this extra-large net forces horses to graze more slowly, mimicking natural feeding patterns and improving digestive health. While the small-hole design is excellent for slowing down "greedy" eaters, users should ensure the net is properly secured to avoid any risk of hooves becoming caught if hung too low.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this net be used for shod horses?
Yes, but it is critical that the net is hung high enough that the horse cannot reach the net with its hooves even when pawing.
How much hay does this net hold?
The extra-large design is intended to hold a standard slice or two of hay, depending on the density of the bale.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, the Lincoln Small Holed Hay Net comes in pink, purple, blue, black/pink, jade, black, and red.
Is this net machine washable?
It is best to hand wash the net in a bucket of water and air dry it to avoid damaging the integrity of the mesh fibers in a high-heat dryer.
Will this help a horse lose weight?
Yes, by slowing the rate of intake, it helps horses feel more satisfied over a longer duration, which is useful for weight management programs.
Troubleshooting
Horse pulling at the net but getting very little hay
Ensure the hay is not packed too tightly inside the net. Fluff the hay before loading to allow better access to the small holes.
Net showing signs of wear or fraying
Regularly inspect the mesh. While durable, constant chewing will cause wear; use a small amount of baling twine to temporarily patch minor holes until the net can be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Lincoln Small Holed Hay Net, fill it with a flake or two of hay, then pull the drawstring tight and secure it using a quick-release knot. Always ensure the net is hung high enough that the horse's hooves cannot become tangled if they paw at the hay. Compatibility is universal across most stable hardware, but it is recommended to use an eye bolt or sturdy ring. For care, periodically check the net for any signs of fraying or broken mesh strands caused by sharp teeth. If the net becomes dusty or soiled, it can be soaked in a bucket of water with a mild, horse-safe disinfectant and hung to air dry thoroughly before the next use.
