Square Bale Hay Net
Overview
This slow feed hay net is ideal for feeding an entire square bale. The Texas Haynet Square Bale Net helps prevent colic, founder, and ulcers by slowing down consumption to a natural pace. This bag eliminates clean up and keeps them busy longer. Perfect for the stall or pasture.
Use caution with shod animals. We recommend elevating or placing this net in a solid feeder out of shoe reach. Use caution with horned animals and animals with ear tags.
Create the safest, healthiest, most cost effective feeding solution on the market by pairing this kit with a Tarter Dura Tough Small Animal Feeder. Together, both products eliminate waste and hay clean up. Shop Tarter Dura Tough Small Animal Feeder

United StatesTHN Square Bale Net ROCK!!
LOVE how easy these hay bale nets are to load with hay ! Horse love eating from them and slows down their eating
United StatesLove it.
Great product. I do notice when the tie string is frozen it is very hard to tighten through the black clip. Not complaining just because you asked for suggestion
United StatesWorks great!
Bought this to try and get some weight on my older gelding. He shares a paddock with our other mare. We’ve had the net about 6 months and not a single hole! They are both barefoot and I know they kick it around a lot but it’s doing fine. Just added a second one to hang in their shelter.
United StatesPleasantly surprised
I was skeptical that my horses would use the net, but with the amount of hay they were wasting, I was willing to try it. They took to it with absolutely no issues! My horses have free choice hay and there is virtually no waste. The net is easy to put on the bale, and fits an entire bale nicely. So far, it has been holding up with no tears. I made a DIY feeder out of an old stock tank to keep it off the ground and so far, so good.
United StatesSlow feeding rate = happy horses!
My horses love it, keeps them eating longer and it's easy to use. I'd like to see a thicker tie string but it works, and that yellow is easy to see in the paddock of the net becomes a toy and finds it's way into the dirt.

What Hole Size Should I Buy?
There are several things to consider when choosing a hole size. Here are the basics:
- 95% of animals do well with 1.75" holes.
- For heavy breeds or aggressive eaters we recommend a 2.5" hole or bigger.
