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.
Sized for a Single Small Square Bale
Built specifically to load and contain one small square bale — no fumbling with a net that's the wrong shape for your hay.
Four Mesh Sizes to Match Your Horse
From 1" up to 2.75", so you can dial in how fast your horse works through each bale.
Knotless Netting, Hand-Assembled
Smooth knotless mesh is gentle on lips and teeth, and every bag is hand-assembled for consistent quality.
Cuts Waste, Extends Feeding Time
Contained, slow-paced feeding means less hay trampled into the ground and more time spent actually eating the way nature intended.
Sizing
Choosing the right mesh size
Choosing the right mesh size makes a real difference — too small and your horse gets frustrated, too large and you lose the slow-feeding benefit altogether. Match the net to your horse's size, temperament, and hay type for the best result.
