Absolutely love the hay nets. I have 3. Love that the rope to tie it is a different color!!
Enjoy it! I would recommend! All my nets come from here and no breakage even when forgotten in the grass for a year! (Ooooops!)
I have two lovely Icelandic horses. They are notorious easy-keepers. I love giving them ad lib hay in the paddock that is mainly native grasses, and I would always loose so much hay in our Windy coastal Tasmania conditions. At first I bought the 3x4” round bale net, as I didn’t check the description right…. So to be sure I went a size up from the bales I normally get, and I am super stoked with it! I always go for knotless, it just makes it so much less frustrating for the horses. I went for the widest grade as I don’t like to restrict them too much as I find they get agitated and spend all day at the bale rather than coming back to it multiple times a day.
I am very happy with my square bale net - it has a nice wide filling area so I can just place it over the entire bale, pull the drawstring and cut the twine - good to go. Excellent quality too.
I bought both large & junior sizes in the 6cm for my mare as she was getting frustrated with her previous (slow-feed style with smaller holes) haynet. Very happy - they're so easy to install, move & refill, and she can happily munch away (we're fortunate enough that she doesn't need any restriction of her feed intake, so I can just load up a bale and let her rip).
The only improvement I could think of is to use carabiners with blunter/smoother opening edges. They catch on the netting easily which can make fastening/unfastening a bit fiddly, but it's not a major issue.
I ordered 5 Hay nets recently for my ponies who have moved to a track system. Super speed postage and an exceptional quality product. The horses adapted easily to eating from them, so great that I have just ordered a couple of the new design that I can leave in place and fill from the back. Highly recommended
