Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Deluxe Haynet is an ideal choice for horse owners and stable managers looking to promote natural, slow-paced feeding and reduce feed waste. By simulating a more natural grazing rhythm, it supports improved digestive health; however, potential users should note that the 2-inch hole size may not be suitable for horses prone to gulping very short-cut forage too quickly.

FAQs
What is the capacity of the KM Elite Deluxe Haynet?
The net holds approximately 6.5kg of hay.
Are the mesh holes small enough for a pony?
The holes are 2 inches, which is designed to slow down feeding for most horses and ponies, but not as restrictive as ultra-fine nets.
Is this net suitable for use in a trailer?
Yes, its durable construction and 40-inch size make it an excellent choice for trailers and horseboxes.
Can I leave this net in the field?
Yes, it is designed for use in fields, but ensure it is hung safely to avoid entanglement.
How do I maintain the chrome rings?
Wipe the rings with a damp cloth periodically and keep them dry when not in use to prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Net showing signs of fraying
Check the environment for sharp fence wires or aggressive chewing habits; if the net is damaged, repair with heavy-duty twine or replace to ensure horse safety.
Difficulty threading the top closure
Ensure the chrome rings are free of dried mud or rust and use a light lubricant if the mechanism feels stiff.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly slows down feed intake for better digestion
- Reduces overall hay waste and keeps paddocks cleaner
- High-quality, robust construction for long-term use
- Lightweight and easy to pack for competitions or travel
Cons
- Not ideal for feeding very fine or dusty hay
- 2-inch holes may still be too large for extremely greedy horses
- Requires careful hanging to ensure horse safety
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the net, ensure it is hung at an appropriate height—ideally at shoulder level or slightly higher to mimic natural grazing posture while preventing the horse from getting a hoof caught in the mesh. Always inspect the net regularly for any fraying or damage that could occur from sharp objects or heavy usage. When cleaning, simply shake out debris or rinse with water and allow to air dry completely to prevent rot. The chrome rings should be wiped down periodically to maintain smooth operation during closure and hanging.
