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.

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.
