Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Travel Haynet is a deluxe, durable feeding solution designed for equestrians who prioritize horse health and trailer cleanliness during transit. Ideally suited for horses prone to bolting their feed, the 1.5-inch hole size promotes a natural, slower chewing pace that improves digestion. While its 4kg capacity is perfect for short-to-medium trips, riders on long-distance hauls may need to consider if the volume is sufficient for their horse's entire journey without needing a refill.

FAQs
Is the 1.5-inch hole size safe for all horses?
The 1.5-inch size is considered a standard 'slow-feed' measurement, which is safe for most adult horses to encourage natural grazing. Always monitor your horse during the first use to ensure they are comfortable with the design.
Can this be used for paddock feeding?
While designed for travel, it can be used in stalls or paddocks; however, ensure it is tied securely to prevent the horse from getting a hoof caught in the net.
How do I wash the haynet?
Hand wash with a mild detergent and cold water. Hang to air dry fully.
Does the 4kg capacity refer to wet or dry weight?
Capacity is measured based on dry hay volume.
What is the primary material used?
The nets are handcrafted from durable, high-strength synthetic cordage designed to withstand the stress of travel.
Troubleshooting
Hay is difficult to load
Ensure you are using flake-based hay and loosen each flake slightly before placing it into the net to improve airflow and ease of packing.
Net shows signs of fraying
Check that the net is not being hung against sharp objects or protruding metal in the trailer that could cause mechanical wear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Promotes slower, healthier eating habits
- Compact size prevents overcrowding in horseboxes
- High-quality, durable handcrafted material

Cons
- Limited to a 4kg capacity for longer trips

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply pack your desired forage into the net until you reach the 4kg limit. Ensure the drawstring is securely knotted or clipped to a trailer-safe tie ring at a height appropriate for your horse—ideally at shoulder height or slightly higher to simulate natural grazing while avoiding snagging.
For care, it is recommended to shake out any loose debris after every trip. If the net becomes heavily soiled, hand wash it in cool water and allow it to air dry completely before storage to prevent mold and maintain material integrity.
