Frequently Asked Questions

How do these nets promote slow feeding and reduce waste?

The Shires Deluxe Haylage Nets feature small, approximately 1.75" (4.5cm) mesh holes. This design forces your horse to take smaller bites, extending feeding time, mimicking natural grazing, and significantly reducing the amount of hay pulled out and wasted on the stable floor.

Are these haynets truly durable, and what material are they made from?

Yes, these nets are constructed from extra-strong, soft woven nylon rather than traditional knotted materials. This makes them significantly more durable against chewing and kinder on your horse's mouth. While designed for longevity, regular inspection is recommended to ensure continued integrity, especially with vigorous eaters.

The 45-inch size seems very large. Is it difficult to fill?

The 45-inch size is indeed generous, designed to hold approximately 9.5kg of haylage, which is excellent for extended feeding periods. While its capacity is large, the durable drawstring closure and large ring at the base are designed to facilitate easier filling and handling. Some users find it requires a knack initially, especially when soaking hay, but the benefits of reduced refills often outweigh this.

What are the safety considerations when using a haynet?

For your horse's safety, always hang the haynet at a sufficient height to prevent entanglement, especially for shod horses. Ensure it’s high enough so they cannot get a hoof caught. While some debate exists about eating from a raised position, these nets, when correctly positioned, can contribute to a natural grazing pattern. Modern research suggests that properly used haynets do not negatively impact dental health. Always ensure the hay itself is clean and dust-free to prevent respiratory issues.
