Advice

Which mesh of hay net to choose?

The mesh sets the speed at which your horse takes its hay: the smaller it is, the longer the meal lasts. What the studies say.

Our meshes

38 mm: the most marked slowing, for greedy eaters.
45 mm: versatile, a good balance between slow feeding and comfort.
60 mm: a more comfortable bite, a good transition.
100 mm: limits waste without slowing too much.
Double mesh: two meshes in one, to move gradually from slow intake to freer intake.

The colours available for each mesh are shown in the table on the page custom-made.

A greedy horse: 38 or 45 mm.
A calm horse, or to limit waste: 60 or 100 mm.
A horse that is just starting out: begin with a wider mesh, then tighten.
Watch the first few days, and switch to a wider mesh if your horse gets worked up.

A hay net does not replace the ration. Do not reduce the amount of hay you give without the advice of your vet or an equine nutritionist.

Mealtime duration, weight, teeth, and the limits of the studies.

Hanging it, getting your horse used to it, cleaning and checking.
