Its two overlapping layers create small holes, so horses take smaller mouthfuls and eat more slowly, which aids digestion and makes forage last longer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is best for greedy feeders and good doers, horses on box rest who need forage to stretch through the night, and anyone tired of half a net ending up trodden into the bedding. It works equally well in the stable, field shelter, trailer or lorry.
