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
I’ve purchased two of the Knotless 1 inch hole extra small hay nets for my PPID/IR pony. She is active and competes in Combined Driving Events. She has limited pasture time in the early morning so, these hay nets are used to simulate extended grazing time while in her stall. The nets are made to be very sturdy and hold one flake of hay. It takes her 3-4 hours to eat her morning and evening hay. I am very happy with the quality of these nets and the options available for hole size and hay net size. It was difficult to find a suitable hay net for my pony until I found Gutzbusta. Great product!
This product is very tough and large enough to fit a large 3 string hay bails.
It takes some getting used to butting the bail into the net. Better if you can hang it up. Im getting a clip to close the strings rather than tie it up. Overall very satisfied.
Just purchased our 6th medium size knotless nets, we also have 2 small and 2 hay bags ~ highly recommend all. They are fantastic value for money and easy to fill. These hay nets are a game changer and the best we have tried yet. Happy horses, happy horse mum!
I have a small track system in the Midwest and do not have the equipment needed for round bales. Gathering, filling, and replacing hay nets was way too cumbersome. The hay stay nets were the perfect solution! I rotate the horses feeding stations every week and have 3 to 4 hay stays in multiple locations. Each one holds two full square bales that I can easily load off the back of my side-by-side into the net without heavy lifting. This allows me to only put hay out every other day, which is a huge time saver! It’s only been about a month and a half but they are holding up well to some of my more aggressive eaters.
I’ve struggled for a while with the cheap older style hay nets. Cowboy got his lower jaw hooked in the older style ones and I had to do something about it. I’d seen the gutzbusta nets and thought no way will they be strong enough. How wrong was I! I’ve tested 2 hanging different size hole nets with our Clydesdale and they’ve stood the test. I have purchased the small square bale net too but haven’t used it yet. When I do I’ll send some pics. For now here’s Cowboy chowing down on his hay. And I’m happy to say there’s no getting haws caught on your nets
Love them, every horse in our racing stable has one. They are the only brand that hold up with the cheeky ones that don't mind chewing on them and they are so easy to fill.
I just love this small knotless hay net! Sometimes I think the knots interfere with my horse getting the hay out properly. It’s just the perfect size to take when I go trail riding. I tie the net onto the side of the trailer while I saddle and unsaddle after we ride.
Very happy with my purchase. Good wide opening. I will definately be a repeat customer.
A great quality product, saves waste and a very durable netting.
Works well with my cattle slowing the feeding down nicely
The knotless haynets are fabulous. A lot less wastage and the larger nets are easier to fill.
Keeping my horse from pulling down the fences. I find lucern better. Hay forms a little mass in the middle they can't get out. Lucern drops little trails for them. Hours of entertainment.
Having moved to keeping my horses on a track the missing piece was the right hay nets. After initial scepticism they’ve all adopted the 3 cm nets which has slowed my herd of 6 right down, and they seem happier and more engaged altogether. I absolutely LOVE the hay weigher which was an eye opener for me as I thought was packing 40 kg each day but had no idea I was so off!
Really love the knot less design and it will fit a good 3-4 flakes! It also is sturdy and am confident won’t be falling apart like many of the nets on the market. Worth the extra cost and happy to have it!
Very happy with the service . I ordered the wrong nets and had no problem to get a refund and order the correct ones . Delivery was fast and quality super
Very happy with the medium knotless nets we purchased. Have found that when using at comps with horses in sml yards overnight- horses are kept occupied longer and get up to less mischief! Good capacity and easy to handle. Will purchase more
The new version of these nets are huge, super easy to fit over a 3x4x8 square. This is our third version since 2017. I have horse that have never had big bales without a net and are very clever at accessing their hay. Thanks to nets we have very little hay waste from the horse as they clean everything up.
I have to soak all of Bosco’s hay. I stuff it in the 3/4 inch net and soak. Then I hang on a hook and let it drain. Super. I’m ordering two more today!
So pleased with the hay-stay net. So easy for me to fill on the track. Horses love them and so do I.
