Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Deluxe Haynet is an ideal solution for horse owners looking to improve their equine's digestive health through slower, more natural grazing. Designed for daily use in stables, horseboxes, or fields, this 40-inch heavy-duty net significantly reduces waste by preventing horses from scattering hay; however, users should note that the 2-inch hole size is intended for moderate grazing speeds and may not be suitable for horses prone to choking on larger mouthfuls.

FAQs
How much hay can the KM Elite Deluxe Haynet hold?
It is designed to hold approximately 6.5kg of hay.
Is the 2-inch hole size safe for all horses?
The 2-inch hole size is standard for slow feeding, but you should always monitor your horse to ensure they are comfortable and not struggling with the mesh.
Can this be used for soaking hay?
Yes, the durable construction makes it suitable for dipping or soaking hay, provided you allow it to drain thoroughly before hanging.
Where is the best place to hang the net?
It should be hung at shoulder height to encourage a natural grazing position, away from any potential snags or obstacles.
Does the net come with a rope for hanging?
The net features high-quality iron rings, but you should provide a durable lead rope or quick-release clip for secure installation.
Troubleshooting
Horse finishing hay too quickly
Consider double-netting or checking if the hay is loose and easy to pull; ensure the net is packed firmly.
Chrome rings showing minor rust after long outdoor exposure
Lightly buff the rings with a wire brush or fine steel wool and apply a light protective coating of oil.
Net knot fraying or minor strand breakage
Use a heavy-duty twine or zip tie to secure the damaged section until a permanent repair or replacement can be made.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your KM Elite Deluxe Haynet, ensure it is securely fastened to a stable ring or anchor point using the provided chrome-finished iron rings. It is critical to hang the net at a height where the horse cannot easily get a hoof caught in the mesh if it drops to the ground. For care, simply shake out loose dust and debris regularly. If the net becomes heavily soiled, it can be soaked in clean water and air-dried to maintain the integrity of the material. Periodically inspect the net for any signs of wear or broken strands to ensure the safety of the horse.
