Product Information

Full details

The Hy Equestrian Slow Flow Ultra Haynet is an ideal solution for horse owners managing greedy feeders, animals on restrictive diets, or those who simply want to encourage natural trickle feeding behaviors. By utilizing a durable, double-layered design with 4cm mesh holes, this net significantly extends the time it takes for a horse to consume its forage, helping to promote healthier digestion and minimize costly hay waste, though owners should note that it requires consistent monitoring to ensure the mesh size remains appropriate for their horse's shoeing status.

FAQs

Can I use this haynet for a horse with shoes?

No, it is not recommended to use this type of mesh haynet with shod horses due to the significant risk of the shoe hooking the mesh and causing injury.

How much hay does the Slow Flow Ultra hold?

The haynet is designed to hold approximately 7kg of dry hay.

Does the 4cm hole size work for all types of hay?

It is generally effective for standard meadow or timothy hay, though very coarse, stemmy hay might be more difficult for the horse to extract.

Is this net machine washable?

It is best to soak the net in a bucket of water with a mild detergent and hang it to dry, rather than machine washing, to preserve the integrity of the material.

Will this help with my horse's weight loss?

Yes, by slowing down the rate of consumption, it helps keep the horse satisfied for longer periods, which is a key component of managing weight in forage-restricted diets.

Troubleshooting

Horse finishing hay too quickly

Ensure the hay is packed tightly inside the net rather than loose, as this forces the horse to pull at the hay more deliberately.

Net showing signs of fraying

Cease use immediately and check if the horse is pulling at the net with its teeth; you may need to check if the hay is too difficult to extract.

Difficulty filling the net

Try folding the net over itself or using a haynet filler hoop to keep the opening wide while you pack the forage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly slows down eating speed for greedy horses
  • Reduces total hay waste in the stable
  • Promotes natural trickle feeding behavior for better digestion
  • Durable double-layered construction for increased lifespan
  • Holds a substantial 7kg of forage

Cons

  • Not suitable for horses wearing shoes due to risk of entrapment
  • Requires careful filling to ensure even distribution
  • Larger capacity can be heavy when fully loaded

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the haynet, ensure it is hung at an appropriate height to allow for natural neck extension while eating, but high enough to prevent a hoof from becoming caught. When filling, pack the hay tightly to ensure the mesh is engaged correctly. Always inspect the net daily for any signs of fraying or holes that have become enlarged due to wear and tear. If the net shows damage, replace it immediately to prevent accidental ingestion of synthetic fibers or limb entrapment. Do not use this net with horses that are shod, as the shoes can hook the mesh and cause severe injury.
