I had to switch to the larger bales, and this is working great in my Hay Feeder for two of my horses. They share it and the hay stays in the feeder with this net. Easy to fill and place in feeder.
I’ve been using these hay nets for almost 2 years now. Prior to that I’ve used a lot of different brands. By far this one is hands-down, the best! I use them every single day outside in the weather in the sun in the rain. I have horses that are pretty aggressive with their nets and they have not put one single hole in any of them. I currently have about eight horses using the nets daily.I especially love how the newest ones have more room and a bigger opening to load. I was actually able to tie them onto my pipe corral so that I just push the hay right into the net. I can fit about four big flakes of Bermuda and it only takes about 10 seconds to stuff the net. I have purchased over 30 nets since I started feeding with them.
Finally a slow feeder that actually slows my mare down. Others she manages to still hoover the hay in 15-30mins. The gutzbusta keeps her going for over 2hours. It is sturdy as well. I will definitely be buying more.
These hay nets work well for our Horse Boarding operation. We use them in our quarantine buildings, but they can be used anywhere. I can put 2 small bales of hay in each bag, or part of a large hay bale - which is actually much more than 2 small bales. In addition, we built hay boxes with a floor, for the bag, so we hang the bag up high using Carabiner clips, AND in addition, the bag actually sits in a hay box that we built. They sit in the hay box about 3-4 feet off the ground. See photo.
