The Perry Equestrian Small Mesh Hay Net is designed for horse owners seeking to improve their equine's digestive health through slow-feeding practices. By regulating intake with its specialized mesh design, this net successfully reduces waste and extends feeding time, making it an excellent choice for horses prone to bolting their food; however, it requires consistent knot security to prevent the loose rope tie from loosening over time.

Yes, it is designed for both stable and field use, provided it is securely tethered and hung at a safe height.
Always hang the net at the appropriate height (chest level) and ensure it is secured tightly so there is no excess hanging material.
It is recommended to hand wash or hose down the net to remove debris and dirt rather than using a machine, which can damage the mesh.
Standard grass hay or meadow hay works best; very fine chaff or extremely short-stemmed hay may fall through the holes.
As with any outdoor equipment, prolonged direct sun exposure may lead to some color fading, but this does not affect the strength of the material.
Ensure the top opening is fully extended before inserting hay; packing in smaller sections helps maintain volume.
Practice using a proper quick-release knot (like a slipped half-hitch) and ensure you pull the slack out entirely before tying.
Check if the net is rubbing against a sharp surface or protrusion in the stable and relocate the attachment point.
To set up the net, thread the drawstring through the metal ring opening, fill with your chosen forage, and pull the rope tight. Ensure you use a secure quick-release knot so you can easily access the hay when needed. For compatibility, ensure you hang the net in a location where the horse's hooves cannot reach it, especially if the horse is shod, to prevent them from becoming trapped in the mesh. To care for your net, periodically inspect it for any broken mesh strands or frayed rope. If the net becomes heavily soiled, hose it down with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before refilling to prevent mold growth on the hay.
