Safety first!Safe design fastens flush to the wall. We know that anything protruding in the stable can cause an injury. Unlike other designs on the market our innovative Hay Nest has been designed by industry experts with decades of experience. Helping us to problem solve and create the safest product possible.It may not look as sleek but we advise using small cable ties to secure the net to the frame for safety. In the case of a horse getting stuck in the net the cable ties will snap and stop the horse being trapped in the net.

The Science behind the design

Horses are natural trickle feeders, evolved to spend up to 16 hours a day grazing little and often. When hay is fed on the floor or in a traditional net, most horses can consume a full ration in 2-3 hours -leaving long stretches without forage that trigger stress, boredom and, over time, gastric ulcers. The Hay Nest slows intake to a natural pace, reducing floor feeding waste from 15% down to just 2%, keeping your horse calmer, healthier and more settled throughout the day!
