Heavy Gauge Round Bale Hay Net
Overview
Details
If you’re deciding between Heavy Gauge and our standard net, compare them in our best round bale hay net for horses guide.
Imagine improving your horse's health and worrying less about colic and ulcers. Picture spending less time feeding and more time doing what you love. Think about how much you spend on hay and cut that number in half. Reduce waste, improve digestion and slow feed with our round bale hay feeder.
Designed specifically for the aggressive eaters, this slow feed hay net is ideal for horses who tend be destructive. This net is twice as thick as our original round bale hay net and weighs 13lbs. The 2.25" holes allow the animal to pull out a little more hay and helps keep their frustration level down.
With the Texas Haynet Round Bale Net, horses are no longer allowed to engorge themselves and frivolously waste expensive hay. The net is lightweight and easy to install - no heavy equipment required.
*Use caution with shod animals. We recommend using a round bale feeder with a solid barrier between the shoe and the net (pictured and sold separately). Use caution with horned animals and animals with ear tags. Use caution with small hooves when using nets with holes larger than 1.75".
