I bought 2 knotless nets for the 1st time for my 2 senior horses. I've used the nylon knotted from other companies for years. I am SUPER happy w the knotless. They seem to be kinder on the teeth, I like the softer feel of the nets, and yet it still slows down my horses. Wish I'd bought at least 2 more but wanted to try them first. Great product!
I used the smaller nets first (the one for 1 bicky) but found it really hard to get the bicky in. A bit like putting a pillow in a pillow case but then with hay. This size is way better. The opening is big enough to put over a bin and it holds a lot of hay. I’m also happy with the opening size as before I had smaller. Horses are happy and have a long time to chew their favourite food. No doubt these will last a long time as they are very strong and sturdy and at the same time the knotless is nice and soft. Very happy customer.
I love it, horses love it, and the hay loves it!
No wastage. No holes. Even the notorious hole maker pony hasn’t put 1 hole in it.
They were surprisingly easier than I imagined to put on. The quality is great & quickest postage. Arrived within 2 days. Has slowed down our herd and made the hay go a longer way while stopping them wasting so much. Thanks again Gutzbutsta.
I ordered the medium knotless.. after months they look brand new while the cheaper nets I got off Amazon around the same time are fraying. They really slow my quick eater down. Super easy to fill and secure, especially with the heavy duty clips.
Could not recommended these hay nets enough from gutzbusta enough. Bought a few for my miniature ponies and they are awesome!!
Fed the ponies a small Haynet at night and came in the morning to them still enjoying them having a little but left.
You can feel the quality in the product. Also the easiest to fill Haynet ever!!
Would recommend and am going to buy some more hay nets once this weeks pay check comes in🤪
I have a small mule who is an extremely easy keeper, so her meals are frequent but small. My new haynets have extended her meal times from 30 minutes to 90+
Now she doesn't have to stand around watching everybody else keep eating after she's cleaned her plate!
I’m looking forward to seeing how much longer the bale lasts now my horses don’t use it as a big comfy bed!
Easy enough to put on and great quality
Wow that’s made overnight and day time a breeze no more fluffing with lots of individual hay nets ! I just fill up the hanging hay net & fluff the hay a bit ,can put up to a small bale in it.Best thing is theirs no wastage of hay .Both my horses are happy browsing from it .Win win .
Absolutely love the option of 2cm hole sizes . Works great with my little motor mouth
Very happy with these feeder nets. I use the 4cm hole ones
Fantastic nets!! We have a fair few horses and filling nets was a nightmare! Changed to these and now putting hay out is a breeze! We have them in their night yards and in all paddocks!
The gutzbusta hay nets are great for the big heavy horses you can easily fit half a bale of hay in them and they don’t kick it all around the stable which I love.
I received my new Gutzbusta 60mm Haynet to tie at the float and yard while getting my horse ready for riding etc, a few days ago and really love it. It’s nice and safe and still easy for the horses to eat from. Very good quality and arrived very quickly. Thank you
Very happy With my large slow feeder hay net it saves wastage and therefore money
There's nothing worse than a flimsy floppy hay net. Trying to fill it up and the biscuit breaks apart and you end up with a pile of hay on the ground. I just received three of the knotless small feeders. They are brilliant. Sturdy enough to allow you to fill them easily and the red draw rope makes it even easier to fill. They fit three biscuits of hay and it keeps my horses standing and eating for the day. Even my gutsy mare that is in foal and always ravenous. It slows her down and prevents her from scoffing her food. They are great quality and even stand up to the 100 ml of rain that we had over the weekend. The nets were out in the constant rain for three days and didnt get heavy, floppy or lose shape. Great product and will definitely buy some more.
TLDR: they are 100% worth the money, I'm seeing less wastage, and not having to fill it as often. My horse can graze on it, instead of eating it all super fast and wasting or dropping half of it. Good enrichment for him as well, and keeps him out of the rain while still able to graze
I have been around GutzBusta haynets before, however never used/ owned one myself until recently. As we all know, hay is becoming scarcer and scarcer due to the Victorian droughts. I myself was in a position of buying hay 10x more expensive than this time last year. It's been very hard, and have had to find ways to combat wastage, as every stalk counts. I considered the GB haynets for a while, and finally bit the bullet to spend the little bit extra money for them, based on what I'd seen/ read about them. I used their handy guide to find what would suit me/ my horse best, and went for the 3cm holes, and a medium size so i wasn't having to fill it so often.
Wow. thats all i have to say. not only am i having to fill it less often, I'm also seeing almost no wastage (apart from the grass seeds that fall through the bottom - but prior to using these haynets, i was losing the equivalent of 1/5 of a square bale/ per bale used, which is definitely not ideal!) He eats it much slower, meaning the hay in the net is lasting longer, and I'm not going through my bales as fast as i was. I'm also able to secure them on tree branches in a way that theyre free-hanging, so that also slows him down.
I whole heartedly can say that these are worth the money. I am not sponsored, nor being asked to write this review - as someone who relies on reviews to know if a product is worth buying, i thought it would put my honest thoughts out there for someone who is the same as me. I will definitely be buying more in the future, should I ever need to.
I have purchased 4 x knotless nets, 2 x 4cm and 2 x 6cm, these are brilliant, it is great having the slightly bigger holes for winter feeding, as they are eating more hay in winter
Great product, very study and save a heap with less wasted hay
Love these nets! They’re exactly what I’m looking for and are nice and easy to fill. Four stars only because I ordered a medium and it was way bigger than I was expecting (my fault really for not reading the dimensions correctly), I could really have done with smaller nets!
Really happy with both knotless and knotted nets. I have 3 and all easy to use. My mare tends to rip them up and she hasn’t broken these ones yet.
