Product Information
Full details
The Lincoln Three Horse Hay Net is designed for horse owners and stable managers who need an efficient, large-capacity solution for feeding multiple equines simultaneously. Its primary benefit is the reduction of hay waste and the promotion of a more natural, slower feeding rate for herd environments; however, users should note that the larger 4.5-inch holes are specifically suited for horses accustomed to hay nets and may not be ideal for aggressive eaters prone to getting caught.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this net suitable for ponies?
While it can be used for ponies, the 4.5-inch holes are quite large, so ensure they are comfortable eating from this size mesh.
Can I use this outdoors in the rain?
Yes, the materials are durable, but regular cleaning and drying are recommended to prevent mold if the hay stays wet for extended periods.
How much hay does this hold?
The net is designed for a large capacity meant for three horses, but the exact weight depends on how tightly you pack the hay.
Is the material safe for horses to chew?
The net is made of high-strength, horse-safe materials, but it should be monitored to ensure no horse is chewing on the net structure itself.
What is the primary benefit of the 4.5-inch hole size?
It provides a balance between allowing the horse to get sufficient mouthfuls while preventing them from grabbing too much at once.
Troubleshooting
Horse struggling to pull hay through holes
Ensure the net is not packed too tightly; shake the net once filled to allow hay to loosen inside.
Net showing signs of fraying
Cease use immediately to prevent injury and assess if the damage can be repaired or if the unit needs replacement.
Hay is being wasted despite net use
Check the hanging height; if it is too high or too low, the horse may tug harder, causing hay to fall out.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Lincoln Three Horse Hay Net, ensure you have a secure mounting point capable of supporting the weight of a full net. Always hang the net high enough so that horses cannot catch their hooves in the mesh, but low enough for comfortable grazing. Compatibility is broad, though it is recommended for use with horses that are already experienced with hay nets to prevent potential frustration or entanglement. For care, regularly inspect the netting for frayed cords or broken knots. If the net becomes heavily soiled, hose it down with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before refilling to maintain the integrity of the material.
