Cashmans Slow Feed Hay Net is a deluxe hay net with 2×2-inch diamond mesh openings that slow a horse’s hay consumption rate, extending the time spent eating to better mirror natural grazing behavior and support healthy digestion. This slow feed hay net significantly reduces the amount of hay wasted by horses pulling large flakes out of standard hay nets or ground-feeding, because the smaller openings require the horse to work for each bite rather than pulling out fistfuls at a time. The slower, more deliberate eating pace encouraged by this slow feed net benefits horses in multiple ways: it keeps the digestive system more consistently active, reduces the risk of boredom and stress behaviors from long gaps between meals, and stretches your hay budget further. Any horse owner who has watched hay disappear in 20 minutes knows the problem a slow feed hay net solves.
This Slow Feed Hay Net holds a standard flake or small bale and hangs from a stall wall, fence post, or hay rack hook for easy daily use. The 2×2-inch opening size of this slow feed net is small enough to significantly slow consumption without being so tight that the horse becomes frustrated or gives up eating. Cashmans carries this slow feed hay net alongside round bale feeders, hay cradles, and other hay management and feeding accessories. Pick up your Slow Feed Hay Net at Cashmans in Delaware, Ohio.
