If horse hooks a shoe into a hay net, they can become entangled or tear away the shoe – sometimes with part of the hoof – as they free themselves. If your horse wears shoes, you should place the net high enough that they can’t touch it with their hooves. The recommendation is usually to hang the net at or above wither height. Hay nets that are hung very high overhead can shower your horse with dust and bits of hay, causing irritation or allergic reactions. Extended use of nets tied high may also cause tension or soreness, as horses are designed to feed mostly from ground level. The best way to avoid both of these situations is to secure your nets as low as possible, keeping in mind the caution about shoes. Designed to provide a natural way for your horses to feed, slowing down their hay intake and prevent hay waste. Slowing down consumption aids in digestion and improves overall health. Great for trailering or the stall.
