Waldhausen Deluxe Small Mesh Haynet for Horses
Description
Waldhausen Deluxe Haynet - Extra Small Mesh Slow Feeder
The Waldhausen Deluxe Haynet is a sturdy small-mesh hay net with approximately 3.5 x 3.5cm openings and an unfilled length of around 115cm. It is designed for horse and pony owners who want to slow forage intake in the stable, field shelter or horsebox, making it best for good-doers, horses on box rest and any horse that clears a standard net long before the next feed.
Because the mesh is smaller than a conventional hay net, the horse takes smaller mouthfuls and chews for longer, which spreads the same amount of hay across more hours of the day. The hard-wearing cord construction is built for daily use on a working yard.

FAQ
How small is the mesh on this haynet?
The mesh openings measure approximately 3.5 x 3.5cm, which is smaller than a standard hay net and encourages slower, steadier eating.
What size is the haynet?
It measures approximately 115cm unfilled, which holds a generous section of hay or haylage for one horse or pony.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The same net suits ponies, cobs and horses; simply fill it to the amount each animal is being fed.
Will a small mesh net slow my horse down too much?
Introduce it gradually. Most horses adapt within a few days, but if your horse becomes frustrated, hang a second standard net alongside it at first.
Can I use it in a trailer or horsebox?
Yes. Hang it high, keep it clear of the horse's legs and secure it with a quick-release knot.
How do I use a haynet safely?
Hang the net at chest height or above so it does not drop low as it empties, check the cord regularly for wear and stop using it if strands are frayed or broken. Take extra care with shod horses and youngsters.
