My Peruvian Paso Gelding Tayo is going to be 19 this spring. I have known that he is IR (typical for his breed) since I got him as a six year old. He has always used a grazing muzzle when turned out, and I have used slow feeding hay nets/bags for his hay consumption the entire time I have had him. I have tried most of what is on the market. There are now a lot more options than there were 12 years ago! Hay Burners Equine netting is THE BEST. They are heavy duty, but soft and made without knots. A horses muzzle is like a short elephant trunk. Very sensitive and used for grasping forage for the teeth to cut. Imagine how it would feel if the netting were a harsh material and covers in knots… Despite the netting being soft, these net bags hold up better than any other I have used. Laurie found the best materials she could to build her net feeders because she was making them for her horses. Nothing has changed now that she is making them for sale. She makes the bags and sells them. She is a one person business. Her customer service is incredible. It is a joy to support a business with products better than the rest and know that you are supporting fellow horse lover/caretaker. Her prices are competitive too. I use the hanging style, single serve bags as they suit my situation best, but the other options look great for different applications. She has everyone covered! I have 4 of these bags as I like to wash them in water once a week after they have soaked in a bucket for a few hours. You will be surprised at how dirty the water will be. And now my horse now needs to have his hay soaked. His condition with age is now EMS. I live in a cold climate and so I like to give a net bag time to dry out between uses so it won’t freeze before using it, so I need 4 to keep my operation going. It will also make it easier for my “allergic to hay husband” if I am going to be gone for a day or two, so, I can fill bags ahead of time so he doesn’t have to do that. Give these slow feeder net bags a try. You will love how much they will save you in wasted hay, and how they work to benefit your horses mental and physical health. |
Why purchase a slow feed hay net from Hay Burners Equine?
- Our hay nets are manufactured from tough, high quality materials that withstand the rigors of everyday use. Some might say our heavy weight netting materials are over-kill but our long list of satisfied customers might disagree with that view. We could use a less costly, lighter weight material and probably be more profitable but we would rather produce a net that our customers are thrilled with and when they do finally need to replace it, they will come back to Hay Burners Equine.
- All of our hay nets are produced from woven knotless net materials. Many of our competitors use a knotted construction netting that we believe can irritate the horse’s lips and muzzle. It may be a small thing but it’s the small things we feel make the difference.
- Our nets seams are joined with a tough overlock stitch that is as strong or stronger than the net itself.
- We provide repair twine with every net at no additional charge in the event your hay net becomes damaged. This keeps your hay net safely in service without hassle.
- All of our nets come equipped with sliding cord locks at no additional charge for quick closure of the opening. We also offer a rope upgrade if you want to hang with the tie.
- Our product tag is more than just a place for our logo. The reverse side is blank and can be marked with a ball point pen to clearly identify your hay net when used at a boarding facility.
