Description
If you have ever thrown a few flakes into a stall and watched half of it hit the ground in the first ten minutes, you already understand the problem. Horses are not built to eat fast — they are built to graze slowly over hours, which is why unrestricted access to loose hay leads to waste, boredom, and eventually health problems. The NAG Bag Hanging Bag slows all of that down. It holds three to four flakes and delivers hay at a pace that keeps your horse busy, satisfied, and eating the way their digestive system actually needs.
This is a bag that earns its place in any barn setup. Whether you are managing a busy boarding facility that needs a quick and dependable daily routine, hauling horses to a show and trying to keep them settled in the trailer, or just dealing with an easy keeper who inhales everything you put in front of them — the Hanging Bag handles it. Multiple bags around a paddock can even support a paddock paradise setup by encouraging your horses to move between feeding stations throughout the day.
Knotless netting, hand-assembled construction, and a knitted nylon blend that averages a 3–5 year lifespan mean this is not something you will be replacing every season. Every bag ships with a strand of twine and toggle so you are ready to hang it the day it arrives. Need help picking the right net size? Reach out — we are always happy to talk it through.
How to Use
When introducing the Hanging Bag for the first time, always offer loose hay alongside the net for the first week. This gives your horse a chance to learn how to forage from the net properly without frustration, reduces the chance of chewing on the net itself, and sets the whole system up for long-term success.
Fill the bag through the top opening, pull the drawstring tight, and hang it at a comfortable height for your animal — lower is generally better for natural head position and joint comfort. For shod horses, make sure the bag is hung or placed in a position that keeps it out of pawing range. A tub or hay ring works well for this.
SIZE GUIDE
Choosing the right net size comes down to your animal, your hay type, and where you are starting from with slow feeding. If your horse has never used a hay net before, starting with a slightly larger hole size and working down is always easier than starting too tight.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT MAKES IT WORTH IT
Why it's built different
We use these nets in our own barn. Here's what actually matters after five winters of pasture use — not marketing points, real ones.
Slows Feeding Without the Stress
Horses are built to trickle feed — small amounts, all day long. The Hanging Bag gives them exactly that, pulling hay through the net at a natural pace instead of burning through a flake in twenty minutes and standing empty-bellied until the next feeding.
Knotless Netting That's Safe on Teeth and Lips
Knotted nets create pressure points that wear on your horse over time. The NAG Bag uses smooth knotless netting that's gentle on sensitive muzzles and won't catch or snag the way cheaper options can.
Hand Assembled for Quality That Shows
Every bag is assembled by hand, not cranked out by a machine. That means consistent tension across the net, solid construction at every seam, and a bag that holds up through daily use across multiple seasons.
Built to Last 3–5 Years
A lot of hay nets look fine on day one and start falling apart by winter. These are built from high-quality knitted nylon blend material that handles mud, ointments, UV exposure, and the daily pulling pressure of horses who know what they want.
Five Sizes for Every Animal and Every Situation
From a 1" net for minis who have mastered slow feeding, to a 2.75" for drafts and cattle who just need their hay contained — there is a size that works for your animal, your hay type, and your setup. If you are not sure which one, we are happy to help you figure it out.

Worth every penny
Ordered on a Tuesday, showed up Friday. Clips haven't rusted through one freeze-thaw yet, which is more than I can say for the last two I bought from a chain feed store.

Good product, took a bit to figure out
Uncle Jeeter was right about the 1¾" holes — I started with 1¼" and my mare just walked away. Switched up and she's happy. Would buy again.
