Full details
The Lincoln Hay Net is designed for equine owners seeking a reliable way to regulate hay intake and reduce stall waste. Constructed from durable polypropylene mesh, this net slows down consumption, promoting better digestion for horses while keeping their environment clean. It is an ideal solution for those managing weight-conscious horses or looking to prevent hay from being trampled into bedding, though users should ensure the mesh size is appropriate for their specific hay type to avoid frustration during feeding.

FAQs
Can I leave this net outside in the rain?
Yes, the polypropylene material is weather-resistant, though removing it during extreme weather can extend its overall lifespan.
Is the Lincoln Hay Net suitable for all horse sizes?
Yes, but it is critical to adjust the hanging height according to the height of your specific horse to prevent entanglement.
How do I clean the hay net?
You can clean it by soaking it in mild, equine-safe detergent, rinsing thoroughly, and hanging it to dry.
What is the primary benefit of the dual-ring design?
The dual rings allow for easier filling and more secure, stable suspension, preventing the net from swinging excessively.
Will the mesh material hold up against sharp teeth?
The polypropylene is durable and designed for feeding, but no mesh is indestructible if a horse is determined to chew on it.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty in filling the net
Secure the bottom ring to a fixed point to hold the net open, allowing you to stuff hay into the top opening more efficiently.
Signs of wear on the mesh
Immediately remove the net from the stall and inspect for loose strands; if structural integrity is compromised, replace the net to prevent safety risks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the net, simply attach the top ring to a secure, stable clip or post, keeping the bottom ring accessible for loading. Ensure the net is hung high enough that the horse cannot catch a hoof in it while pawing or grazing. For care, regularly shake out any dust or small debris from the net. If the net becomes heavily soiled, soak it in a bucket of water with horse-safe detergent, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before the next use. Periodically inspect the polypropylene mesh for any tears or fraying to ensure continued safety.
