Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How does this net help with "greedy feeders" or horses prone to boredom?
A: The 5.5cm mesh holes are specifically designed to slow down hay consumption. This mimics natural grazing patterns, which extends feeding time, prevents gorging, and keeps stabled horses mentally occupied to reduce stable vices.

Q: Is this haynet difficult to fill compared to standard cord nets?
A: Not at all. Thanks to the heavy-duty nylon webbing and the inclusion of sturdy metal rings, the net maintains its structure much better than flimsy alternatives, making it significantly easier to fill with up to 5 flakes of hay by yourself.
