Top Benefits of Using Slow Feed Hay Nets:
Reduce incidence of choke
Hay nets stop gorging, only allowing a few strands of your hay to be eaten at once and not huge mouthfuls.
Improves mental health
Slow feeder hay nets simulate grazing, improving your horses’ physical and mental health - horses are supposed to eat 18-20 hours a day.
Reduces boredom in horses
Hay nets slow down hay consumption rate and replicate your horses’ natural grazing pattern.
