Top Benefits of Using Slow Feed Hay Nets:

Reduce incidence of choke

Hay nets stop gorging, only allowing a few strands of your hay to be eaten at once and not huge mouthfuls.

Improves mental health

Slow feeder hay nets simulate grazing, improving your horses’ physical and mental health - horses are supposed to eat 18-20 hours a day.
