  • Now Heavier Cord .75″ Heavy Polypropylene – Black only -Ultra slow feed, use with caution, only for horses that are used to slow feed nets
  • 1″ Heavy Duty Polypropylene -Black only (400+ pound break strength).- Slow feeding for horses that have mastered larger meshes, ponies & Minis
  • 1.25″ Heavy Duty Polypropylene -Black only (400+ pound break strength).  Works for most horses

  • 3.00″ Heavy Duty Polypropylene – Black – Not a slow feeder – great for folks that just want to reduce some waste and still free choice feed

Please keep in mind the smaller the mesh the more abuse it will take from the horses teeth, this can cause premature wear on the nets if the horse is not picking the hay out but grabbing the net and shaking it or just ripping at the net. THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR CAN SUBSTANTIUALLY SHORTEN THE LIFE OF YOUR NET and generally shows the horse is not ready for that small of a hole.

    this is the second time i’ve ordered small bale nets here. i have two quarter horses and use 2 nets(2.25”)/bales per day. the first ones are several years old now and aside from being dirty, they are like new! but, i wanted nets with a smaller grid (1.75”) to hopefully have less hay end up on the ground. my horses were pulling more out than they could chew. my new nets arrived quickly and the smaller grid is perfect!!!

    My horses have been on slow feed bags for years so I love the 3/4” net. I fill from round bales and these bags fit nicely over a trash can to make that easier. I’ve just had them a short while, but they look like they should hold up really well. Thanks for a great product!

    I’m reviewing these hay nets shortly after receiving them, so I can’t speak to their durability. But they are sturdy, well made, shipping was super quick, and communication with the shop was excellent. Will update at a later date if possible.

    I have purchased 6 Hay Burner bags and have been very impressed with how well they are holding up. I have one mustang that is a very enthusiastic bag shaker and will have a cheaper quality bag destroyed within 2 weeks. It has been 3 months and not a sign of a hole in any of the bags. Very pleased with the quality.

    Perfect for 5-6 good size flakes or more and the net stays soft even after many uses. So far my horses have not eaten the closing clamp, so that’s good… they are to busy working the hay out of the 1” holes.

    Great hay bag, would have given it a 5 if you had a tying system like h** c*** . I use a pully system to raise my bags up and the elastic cord did not work for me, but I was able to get a heavy rope that works fine. it is an easier bag to fill, and a great price.

    I absolutely love the Hay Burners hay bags! They hold up with my herd of 6 fantastically, better than some of the widely known brands. 2 of mine are aggressive bag shakers and I don’t have to repair holes for about 4-5 months of use in the harsh Colorado weather.

    I am addicted to using the 1” Hay Burner feeding bags with my easy keep icelandic horses, they nibble all day long and they are happy and content. And the quality is outstanding. Recommend the extra long rope, makes it easier to fill.

    These hay bags/nets are great! They’re soft, knot-free and seem very durable. The 1 14″ size openings are perfect for all of our horses – yearlings to 26yo. These bags can hold up to a 1/2 3-string bale, but also work fine when I don’t fill them that full. I like that they’re big enough that 2-3 horses will share one.

    We use this for my daughter’s large pony in his stall. He had no trouble eating from the hay bag right away, no mess all over his stall, and less work as it really does hold an entire bail of hay. Highly recommend these hay bags. They will pay for themselves because no more wasted hay. Win win

    I LOVE these nets! I have purchased several over the years and they are by far the best nets out there. Extremely durable and easy to fill. I’m currently using my this size net in my stalls to ensure that my horses never run out of hay. The horses love them- in fact, I’m pretty sure they prefer to eat hay out of these nets than loose on the ground!

    Bought two full bale hay nets (3/4 inch holes) for our Welsh ponies who are free fed grass hay. Theses are terrific! Set them in opposite corners of paddock and the ponies travel back and forth between them. All issues of food aggression have vanished and even the “boss” lets the others eat with her. Lovely “share” size nets! In addition, its so much easier setting out a large bale sized hay net instead of filling all those smaller bags. Happy ponies makes happy people.

    I’ve bought 6 of these so far and LOVE them. One of my older mares doesn’t really get enough hay if I use small-hole, slow eating nets. I bought the small-bale net with the extra-large holes. It’s the only net I could find with large holes that was also long enough to clip into my 150-gallonRubbermaid tubs. It’s perfect! Thank you for such a great product!!

    These are well made and sturdy. I added the extra rope at closer. I use these on the ground like haypillows. My horses are not shod and it works great. When its wet I hang them in the barn. They seem like they will last a while. Thanks

    I really like this hay bag. It’s sturdy and it easily fits a whole bale of hay. My horse has no trouble with the .75 inch holes and it really helps stretch the hay longer. Saves money!!! I’m gonna get the standard size for traveling too!

    Purchased the 3″ hole bags and the 2.5″ hole bags.
    Could not be more pleased with them.
    Was rather expecting more waste with the 3″, but there is barely any. Will be ordering more of this size as I like the horses to not get overly frustrated trying to get a good bite of hay. The bags are used in the barn.
    Free choice hay is also fed outside on the ground so they have hay available at all times without having to always eat out of a net. I have had my older bags for 10 years?
    Maybe longer. Absolutely no damage to them in all that time, even though I’ve got a couple of draft horses using them. The new bags are of a more generous size, which I really appreciate. So much easier for me to fill.
    I use a sawed off 55 gallon plastic drum (about 1/3) to load the bags in. Very easy to get them filled.
    Thank You for a great product.
    My horses teeth were getting beveled using another brand. The material was very very harsh on their teeth.
    No issues using the Hayburners!

    These bags are THE BEST. I’ve had countless bags fall apart, or not really work to slow them down. These are big, easy to fill, and they are such great quality. I’ve been using a couple that a friend let me borrow. Now, they are all I will use.

    Very happy with this net! We originally got a hay chix net for our TB gelding but he was going through a bale still in 2 days.
    We ordered the 3/4″ in this and it really worked to slow him down. I also love how soft the material of this net is, while stil remaining very strong.
