Frequently Asked Questions

How durable is the Shires Heavy Duty Hay Net?

Crafted for resilience, this hay net features an extra-strong, heavy-duty construction designed to withstand the rigors of daily use by even the most enthusiastic feeders. Its robust material ensures longevity, preventing easy breakage and offering reliable performance season after season. Some Shires models also incorporate reinforced metal rings for enhanced strength and ease of tying.

Will the 2-inch mesh holes really slow down my horse's feeding?

Absolutely! The precisely engineered 2-inch (approximately 5.5cm) mesh holes are specifically designed to significantly slow your horse's hay consumption. This promotes natural foraging behavior, aids digestion by increasing chew time, and dramatically reduces hay wastage by preventing large mouthfuls from being pulled out and trampled.

How much hay can the 50" hay net hold?

The 50-inch length of this hay net indicates a generous capacity. It's designed to hold a substantial amount of hay, typically accommodating four to six flakes or approximately 21 pounds (9.5kg) of hay. This makes it ideal for extended feeding periods, ensuring your horse has access to forage for longer durations without constant refilling.

Are the 2-inch holes too small for some horses?

While the 2-inch mesh is highly effective for slow feeding, some horses may initially find it challenging or frustrating. Most horses adapt quickly, learning to manipulate the hay from the smaller openings. However, individual horses vary, and a short adaptation period might be necessary. It's an excellent tool for promoting healthier, natural eating habits.

Is the Shires Hay Net easy to fill and tie?

Yes, the design prioritizes user convenience. While specific features can vary, Shires hay nets are generally designed for easy filling and secure tying. Many models feature robust top rings, and sometimes a bottom ring, which further simplify loading and hanging in stalls or paddocks, ensuring a stable and secure setup.
