Slow-feed hay nets look similar to regular hay nets but the mesh openings are much smaller, making it harder for the horse to pull hay out. These smaller openings are perfect for trickle feeding and are a great way to give your horse a more natural way to eat.
These nets are ideal for owners who want to give their horses the most natural feeding option available for them. The slow feeding method is great for horse health as the horse will not go for long periods without food. Long fasting periods can cause problems in horses such as gastric ulcers. Slow feeding also helps keep the horse from getting bored throughout the day and can help prevent vices such as cribbing, stall weaving, and pacing.
