Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Deluxe Haynet is an ideal solution for horse owners seeking to regulate feeding rates and reduce forage waste through a controlled slow-feeding design. Perfectly suited for busy stables, trailers, and field use, this 40-inch durable net promotes natural grazing behavior and better digestion by limiting access with 2-inch holes. While it offers exceptional longevity thanks to premium materials, users should ensure the net is secured at an appropriate height to prevent entanglement during unsupervised use.

FAQs
What is the capacity of the KM Elite Deluxe Haynet?
The net can hold approximately 6.5kg of hay when packed.
How large are the holes in the net?
The holes are 2 inches in size, which is designed to provide a slow-feeding effect.
Can I use this in the field?
Yes, the durable construction makes it suitable for use in fields, as well as stables and trailers.
What should I do if the ring gets stuck?
Check for debris or dirt in the high-chrome rings and rinse them thoroughly to ensure smooth operation.
Is this safe for shod horses?
Always ensure the net is tied high enough so that there is no risk of a horse’s shoe getting caught in the mesh.
Troubleshooting
The net is becoming frayed at the edges.
Check if the horse is pulling excessively or if the net is catching on rough surfaces in the stable or trailer; sand down any sharp metal or wooden edges near the feeding station.
The horse empties the net too quickly.
Ensure you are packing the net loosely to avoid overstuffing, or consider doubling up if the horse is an aggressive eater.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces hay wastage compared to loose feeding
- Encourages slower, healthier eating habits
- Heavy-duty construction ensures a long service life
- Easy to secure using high-chrome iron rings
- Suitable for a variety of locations, from horseboxes to fields
Cons
- Requires careful height adjustment for safety
- Capacity is limited to 6.5kg, which may not suffice for very long periods
- Mesh size of 2 inches may still be too large for extremely greedy eaters
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the haynet, pull the drawstrings tight and secure the iron rings to a sturdy anchor point at a height that allows the horse to reach the hay comfortably without risking a hoof getting caught in the mesh. Regularly inspect the net for any signs of fraying or damage, especially after intense use. To keep the net clean, rinse it with water to remove dust and debris after each cycle, allowing it to air dry thoroughly before repacking to prevent mold or moisture accumulation. Do not use sharp tools to cut or alter the mesh, as this will weaken the structural integrity of the yarn.
