FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the 3cm hole size?
The 3cm hole size is designed to slow down the horse's eating speed, which aids digestion and keeps the horse occupied for longer periods.
Can this net be used for travel?
Yes, the Hy Horse Hay Net is lightweight and compact, making it an excellent choice for use in horse trailers during transport.
How much hay can this net hold?
The net has a maximum weight capacity of 1kg.
Is the net machine washable?
While hand washing with a gentle, horse-safe detergent is recommended to maintain the integrity of the mesh, ensure it is thoroughly air-dried.
Where should I mount the hay net?
It should be mounted securely in a location where the horse can reach it easily but cannot get their legs caught or step into the mesh.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty stuffing the net
Ensure the hay is slightly broken up rather than in tightly packed, large flakes to allow for better distribution through the mesh.
Net showing signs of wear or fraying
Regularly inspect the netting for loose knots or cuts; if significant damage occurs, replace the net to prevent loose material from being ingested.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply pack the net with up to 1kg of forage and secure the drawstring or ring to a safe, elevated mounting point in the stable or trailer. Ensure the net is hung high enough that the horse cannot step into it or become entangled. For care, keep the net clean by shaking out dust and debris regularly. If the net becomes heavily soiled, soak it in a gentle, horse-safe detergent, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before the next use.
