Product Information
Full details
The Gallop Horse Hay Net is an ideal feeding solution for horse owners looking to manage intake and reduce hay waste during daily feedings. Designed for both horses and ponies, this durable net features a controlled hole size that prevents horses from grabbing excessive amounts of hay at once, promoting slower, more natural digestion. While it offers excellent durability and ease of use, it is important to note that the net requires careful placement to ensure it remains at an appropriate height for your animal's comfort and safety.

Troubleshooting
The horse is struggling to pull hay through the holes
Ensure the hay is not packed too tightly inside the net; shake the net after filling to loosen the hay.
The tie string has become stiff or hard to untie
Soak the string in warm soapy water to remove dried mud and debris, then allow it to dry completely before re-tying.
Visible wear or small fraying on the net
Inspect the net for safety; if the structural integrity is compromised, the net should be replaced to prevent the horse from chewing through it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Gallop Hay Net, pass the tie string through the reinforced top loops and secure it to a stall ring or secure post using a quick-release knot. Ensure the net is positioned so that the bottom is not resting on the ground, which prevents the risk of the horse catching a shoe or hoof in the netting. For care, regularly inspect the nylon for any signs of wear or fraying. You can gently shake the net periodically to remove dust or debris, and it can be hosed down or soaked in water for cleaning if it becomes excessively soiled.
