Small Slow Feeder Haynet

The Small Slow Feeder Haynet is a compact haynet designed with smaller feeding holes to encourage horses and ponies to eat their forage more slowly.

Its smaller overall size makes it particularly convenient when you don't need a large quantity of forage, whether for ponies, travelling, shows, short stable periods or smaller forage portions.

Why Choose a Small Slow Feeder Haynet?

A full-size haynet isn't always necessary.

This smaller version is ideal when you need a more compact quantity of forage, making it particularly useful for ponies, shorter feeding periods, travelling or taking forage to a show.

The small-hole design also helps slow down access to the forage compared with many conventional large-hole haynets.

Ideal For

• Horses and ponies that eat quickly.
• Ponies requiring smaller forage portions.
• Smaller quantities of hay.
• Stable feeding.
• Horseboxes and trailers.
• Shows and competitions.
• Travelling.
• Overnight stays.
• Keeping a spare haynet in the horsebox.
• Controlled forage-management programmes.

Supporting Slower Forage Feeding

Horses naturally spend considerable time eating forage. Smaller-hole haynets can help extend feeding time by limiting the amount of forage that can be pulled through with each mouthful.

This can make a forage ration last longer and help reduce lengthy periods without access to forage.

Slow feeding can form part of good digestive and forage management, but a haynet should not be considered a treatment or guaranteed preventative measure for conditions such as colic or gastric ulcers.

How to Use

Fill with an appropriate quantity of hay or suitable long-stem forage and secure the haynet to a suitable attachment point.

Introduce small-hole haynets gradually if your horse or pony is unfamiliar with them and check that they can comfortably access the forage.
