Why Use a Hay Net
Improve Digestion
Slow feed hay nets help prevent colic and ulcers in horses by mimicking their natural feeding behavior. When used properly, hay nets are a safe and effective feeder for horses and livestock.
Are Hay Nets Worth It?
Yes. A slow feed hay net cuts hay waste from as much as 60% down to around 6%, so every bale lasts longer. You buy less hay, feed less often, and skip the cleanup of wasted hay.

Which Hole Size Should I Choose?
For most horses, 1.75 inches is the right choice — about 95% of horses do well with it. Aggressive eaters and draft breeds need a bigger hole, not a smaller one, and cattle need 3 inches.
Are Hay Nets Safe?
Yes. Slow feed hay nets are routinely recommended by equine vets and nutritionists, and a two-year study found they do not harm dental health.

Love It
Perfect size for snacking in the trailer or for keeping them busy at shows. It is the same high quality as the large nets, easy to fill and hang, and keeps the horses busy for a good long while. Customer service from Texas Hay Nets is a like breath of fresh air.

Love the Square Bale Hay Net
So happy to find a slow feeder that fits small squares. My mare gets fat on air and this hay net is exactly what she needed. I don't worry as much about colic with her. Really impressed with the customer service. They are very knowledgeable.

WORTH EVERY PENNY
I am super impressed with this hay net. It has saved so much hay! I have a bull that would just totally destroy a bale with in 2 days. I can get a full week out of a bale having 3 bulls and 3 horses on it. I wish I would of found this years ago.

Made In USA

These nets have saved us thousands of dollars in hay and nets over the last 4 years. They will more than pay for themselves. We have no wasted hay at all. We keep 3 large round bales out that feed between 25-30 horses. We've never had any issues.
