Product Information

Full details

This guide is for horse owners looking to reduce hay waste and extend feeding time. The Shires Haylage Net, available in multiple sizes and colors, achieves this by using a fine mesh design. Note that while the fine mesh slows consumption, it may require some adjustment for horses unaccustomed to this feeding method.
