Equi-Sential Normal Haynet for Horses & Ponies
Description
Equi-Sential Normal Haynet - Strong Nylon Hay Net for the Everyday Yard
The Equi-Sential Normal Haynet is a strong nylon haynet with metal rings and a contrasting draw string, made with a standard 8.9cm x 8.9cm hole size. It is designed for horse and pony owners who need a dependable net for stable feeds, travelling in a trailer or lorry, and hanging hay in a field shelter.
This is a normal-hole net rather than a small-hole slow feeder, so hay is drawn out at a conventional rate - best for horses fed measured portions within a set feed period. If you need forage to last longer, choose a smaller hole size instead.
Key Features
- Strong nylon mesh built for repeated daily filling and hanging
- Metal rings at the opening to help the net hold its shape

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are the holes in this haynet?
The hole size is 8.9cm x 8.9cm, which is a standard or normal hole size rather than a small-hole slow feeder mesh.
Is this a slow feeder haynet?
No. With 8.9cm x 8.9cm holes, hay is drawn out at a normal rate. If you want to extend eating time, a small-hole net is the better option.
Will it fit a full section of hay?
It is a standard-size net intended for a normal stable feed. Weigh your hay first and fill loosely rather than compacting it, so the mesh is not overstretched.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The same net can be used for ponies, cobs and horses - the main difference is the size of the hay portion you put in and the height you hang it at.
How high should the haynet be hung?
Hang it high enough that when it empties and sags it still cannot reach hoof or shoe height, and use a quick-release knot so it can be freed in a hurry.
How do I care for the haynet?
Shake out dust and hay seeds after use, rinse if needed and hang to dry fully. Inspect the mesh, metal rings and draw string regularly and retire the net if the cord frays or a strand breaks.
