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 love the wider mouth for easier filling.

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.

These are the best hat nets I have ever bought. Quality construction, soft material so it doesn’t cut my horses nose.
Love this product

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.

Happy to rate your product but I just received it. The netting looks good but I’m curious how long the cord and plastic cinch piece will last. It’s been in use two days…so far so good.

This bag works great! No wasted hay and slows my aggressive eaters down!

I love this hay bag. It took 4 years for my horse to chew through his first one.

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.

I have ordered many hay bags from your company and have never been disappointed! They are well made and are still in use many years later. Thanks for making a quality product!

I really like this hay bag! I ordered the heavier version and it is great! Soft yet sturdy and easy to fill.
Sara (verified owner) –
Generously sized bag opens readily so it is easy to fill and empty. Mesh is soft. The optional rope pull is a definite plus. I’m very pleased.

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!
