Super Slow Feeder Hay Net

Hay Nets and Slow Feeders
Hay nets and hay bags hold a horse's hay off the ground, so less is trampled and wasted. Slow feed nets have small holes that make a horse eat more slowly, which stretches a meal over more hours. This range covers slow feed nets, canvas hay bags and over the fence feeders.
They are part of our wider Stable collection.

Why Use a Slow Feed Net?
Horses are built to graze for most of the day. A slow feed net mimics this by making each mouthful take longer.
- Longer eating time can reduce boredom in stabled or yarded horses.
- Less waste because hay is not spread and trampled.
- Portion control helps horses on a restricted diet.
Introduce a small hole net gradually so the horse learns to use it without frustration. For other ways to keep a horse busy, see licks and toys.
Net, Bag or Feeder?
Nets are light and easy to fill. Canvas hay bags are tougher and suit travel and events. Over the fence feeders hang on a rail and work well for ponies in a yard.
Keep a spare net in your float kit with your grooming bag for shows.
Hanging a Hay Net Safely
Tie the net high enough that a horse cannot get a leg caught when it is empty, and use a quick release knot. Check nets for holes and broken cords.
Tie rings and stable fittings are in stable DIY.
Forage and Gut Health
A steady supply of forage supports a healthy gut. For digestive support, see gut health supplements, and keep hay dry using stable storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size hole is best for a slow feed hay net?
Small holes of around 2.5 to 4 cm slow eating the most and suit easy keepers and horses on restricted diets. Larger holes are easier for horses new to slow feeders or those that need to eat more. Many owners start with a medium hole and move to smaller holes over time.
How high should a hay net be hung?
Hang the net so the bottom sits around the height of the horseās eye when full. As it empties, a net drops lower, so tying it too low risks a leg getting caught. Use a quick release knot or safety tie and check the height again once the net is empty.
Can I use a hay net in a float?
Yes, a hay net or bag gives a horse something to eat on a long trip and can help it settle. Tie it securely at a safe height so it does not swing into the horseās face. Some owners soak or steam hay before travel to reduce dust in the float.
