It’s time to revolutionize your feeding routine with the Weaver Leather 36" Slow Feed Hay Net – your ultimate solution for a healthier, happier horse and a more efficient barn!

We understand the challenges horse owners face. That’s why we’ve engineered this hay net to mimic natural grazing patterns, encouraging your horse to eat at a slower, more deliberate pace. This isn't just about saving hay; it's about promoting superior digestion, reducing the risk of colic, and transforming mealtime into a calm, extended activity.

Experience the Benefits:

The Weaver Leather Slow Feed Hay Net isn't just a simple accessory; it's an investment in your horse's well-being and your peace of mind. Here's what makes it an essential addition to your stable:

• Significant Hay Waste Reduction: Say goodbye to wasted hay! The smaller openings prevent your horse from pulling out large mouthfuls, minimizing mess and saving you money by making your hay supply last longer.
• Improved Digestive Health: By slowing down consumption, this net promotes more thorough chewing and increased saliva production. This aids digestion, reduces the risk of choke, ulcers, and colic, and contributes to overall gut health.
• Mimics Natural Grazing: Encourage a natural feeding posture and consistent, small intake, just like horses graze in a pasture. This keeps their digestive system working optimally throughout the day.
• Perfect for Travel & Shows: Lightweight, portable, and easy to fill, this hay net is ideal for keeping your horse fed and content whether you're at home, on the road, or at a competition.
• Durable, Long-Lasting Design: Crafted from high-quality, robust rope, this 36-inch net is built to withstand daily use and the rigors of barn life, ensuring dependable performance for years to come.
• Enhanced Behavioral Management: Extended feeding times combat boredom, reducing stable vices like cribbing, weaving, and restless pacing. It also helps manage weight for "easy keepers" by regulating forage intake.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the hole size, and will it frustrate my horse?

The Weaver Leather Slow Feed Hay Net features smaller openings, typically 1.75 to 2 inches. This size is specifically designed to slow down eating, promoting better digestion and increasing saliva production, which are crucial for preventing ulcers and colic. While some horses may initially take a little time to adjust, most quickly learn to adapt and benefit from the extended feeding time and natural grazing behavior.

How does this hay net truly save me money on hay?

By preventing your horse from scattering, trampling, and overeating large amounts of hay, the slow feed design significantly reduces waste. Hay that would normally be wasted on the ground stays in the net, making your hay supply last longer. This translates directly into tangible savings on your feed bill over time and less time spent on cleanup.

Is this hay net built to last?

Absolutely! The Weaver Leather 36" Slow Feed Hay Net is constructed from durable, high-quality rope designed for resilience and longevity. It's engineered to withstand daily use, ensuring it remains a reliable tool in your feeding regimen for many seasons. Its robust construction makes it suitable for both stable and on-the-go use.

Beyond digestion, what other health benefits can I expect?

In addition to superior digestive health, the slow feed net offers several broader health advantages. It’s excellent for weight management, helping to regulate forage consumption for "easy keepers" and horses prone to laminitis. By extending feeding time, it also helps reduce boredom and stable vices such as crib-biting or weaving, contributing to a calmer, less stressed horse.

How should I hang the hay net for my horse's comfort and safety?

For optimal comfort and to mimic natural grazing, we recommend hanging the hay net at a height that allows your horse to eat with their head in a relatively natural, lowered position. Avoid hanging it too high, which can lead to an unnatural posture or aggravate respiratory conditions. Ensure it's secured safely to prevent entanglement, especially of hooves. Always check for any potential hazards in your horse's environment.
