EZ FillWall-Mount Slow Feeder

I've never used a slow feeder before — is this a good place to start?

The EZ Fill is one of the easiest ways to get started with slow feeding. It installs in minutes, loads fast, and your horses can begin using it the same day. Start with loose hay alongside the net for the first week so they can figure it out without frustration. Most horses take to it quickly. \

My horse is a mini — will any of these sizes work?

Yes — start with the 1.5" for most minis, and move to the 1" once they've got the hang of slow feeding. The 1" is quite restrictive, so it's better as a step-down once the animal knows how to forage from a net properly. \

Can this help with a horse that has been diagnosed with ulcers?

Slow feeding is one of the most consistent veterinary recommendations for horses with ulcers. Keeping hay available around the clock helps buffer stomach acid and reduces the extended empty-stomach periods that contribute to ulcer formation and recurrence. The EZ Fill is a practical way to make that happen every day. \

How does the EZ Fill compare to a traditional hanging hay net?

Traditional hay nets need to be tied off each time you refill them, which adds time and can be awkward when you're working alone. The EZ Fill mounts permanently and loads from outside the stall with a push-through method — faster, safer, and no knots to undo. The knotless netting also tends to outlast knotted styles. \

Can I use the EZ Fill at horse shows or while camping?

That's actually one of its strengths. Because it attaches to any surface, such as a temporary fence on panels, it travels well. A lot of owners keep one at home and pack a second for shows and trail trips. \

My horse is shod — is it safe to use a hay net?

Yes, with proper placement. Mount the EZ Fill high enough to keep it out of pawing range, or place it in a feeder. Shod horses can catch a shoe if they paw at a net on the ground. Keeping it at nose height or secured to a wall takes care of that risk. \

Will my horse get frustrated trying to pull hay through the net?

When it's introduced properly — with loose hay available alongside for the first week — most horses adapt quickly. Trickle feeding is natural for them, and once they figure out the technique, they typically prefer the net over loose hay. If your horse is struggling, the mesh may be too small for your hay type. Call us and we'll sort it out. \

What hay types work best with each net size?

The 1.5" and larger sizes work with most hay types including alfalfa, coarse grass, and mixed hay. The 1" net is not suitable for fine, short, or compressed hay — the strands can pack the mesh and make feeding too difficult. The 2" and 2.75" handle compressed bales without issue. \

Can I order multiple EZ Fill nets for a larger facility?

Absolutely. There are no minimum order restrictions, so you can order as many as you need in whatever net sizes work for your animals. If you're outfitting a boarding facility or multiple paddocks, reach out and we can help make sure you're getting the right sizes across the board. \

Do I need to adjust net size in winter?

Some owners go up one size in the coldest months to give horses easier access to more forage — horses need more calories to maintain body heat in cold weather. The 2" is particularly popular in colder climates for that reason. If your horse is a hard keeper or a large breed, it's worth considering a size up when temperatures drop. \

What hardware is included, and do I need any extra tools?

The feeder comes with poly Pex piping, wood screws, hose clamps, and a connector — everything you need to mount it. You'll need basic tools to drive the screws and tighten the clamps, but nothing out of the ordinary. \
