A round bale fed loose on the ground loses 30–50% to trampling, soiling and wind. Inside a ring that drops to 2–4% a bale. On 20 bales a winter at $80–$140 a bale, that is $500–$1,200 a year that never went into a horse. The ring is a one-time buy at $1,050.95, so on most places it pays for itself in the first winter.
| Poly ring | Steel ring | |
|---|---|---|
| Leg through a bar | No bars. Solid panels. | Common injury |
| Rust and sharp edges | None, ever | Rust flakes in hay, sharp welds |
| Herd leaning on it | Gives, then springs back | Bends and stays bent |
| Moving it | One person, no tools | Two people or a tractor |
| Cold | UV-stabilized poly, built for prairie winters | Fine |
Measure a few of your bales first. If your bales are 7 ft across or smaller, take the 7 ft ring. Panels adjust to tighten around a smaller bale, and you can add a single panel later if you change balers.

Will a horse get a leg stuck? There are no bars to trap a leg. The panels are solid poly with rounded edges.
Does the net slow them down too much? With 1.5" or 2" mesh a bale that used to last four days lasts six to seven, and the horses have hay in front of them the whole time. Nobody bolts, nobody stands around with an empty gut.
Can I use it without the net? Yes. Use it as a plain ring and add the net later.
Can cattle use it? Yes, with 2.75" mesh. Horned cattle are fine with the open top.
Will it crack at −30? The poly is UV-stabilized and built for Alberta winters. We run ours year-round.
What if I already have a ring? Buy the net only and a pipe kit.
We feed our own horses out of this ring. That is why we carry it. Message the barn with a photo of your bales and we will tell you which size to order.
A round bale fed on the ground loses 30–50% to trampling, soiling and wind. Inside a ring with a net, that drops to 2–4%. Put your own numbers in.
The ring is a one-time buy. The hay is a bill you pay every year.
Hay you are paying for that never reaches a horse, per winter
Inside a poly ring with a net, waste drops to about 3%. That saves you $0 a winter.
Waste figures are ranges reported by extension services and by our own customers. Your bales, your weather and your herd will move the number; the direction does not change.
Pick my ring sizeWe run these rings in our own paddocks. Here's what actually matters after seasons of sun, snow, and hungry horses — not marketing points, real ones.
No rust, no sharp edges, no bent panels after one winter. The poly flexes on impact and comes back — steel rings don't.
Panels bolt together to fit 5, 6 or 7 ft bales. Add a panel later if your bales grow — the ring grows with you.
Smooth rounded rim with no gaps to trap a hoof or halter. Horses feed over the top, exactly how a feeder should work.
Tough but light. Tip it, roll it to the next bale, drop it over. No tractor, no second set of hands.
Pair it with a slow-feed net and hay stays in the ring instead of trampled into the mud — waste drops to a few percent per bale.
Our poly ring & net are into their 4th winter of use & still going strong. Best. Setup. EVER!
These feeders are amazing! There is not one pound of feed wasted. We are no longer wasting 20 to 30 percent of a bale. The feeders provide a 24-hour source of forage and keep the horses busy. One person can change out the bale. These feeders are tough but light. There is absolutely no downside to these feeders.
This winter feeding horses was easy — 4 round bale hay nets set around our 40 acres worked wonders, horses traveled around to the bales and no wasted hay. Super product!
