Personally, I love the Dover small mesh hay nets. But, when I first got them, my horses destroyed them, as in tore huge holes in the nets. Then I got some new ones and hung them from the center beam of the ceiling where they couldn't get them pushed up against the wall and the nets have held up great since then. My mistake was that I originally had them too close to the wall and the horses just pressed them into the wall and got a good grip on the mesh. Now with them hung in the middle, the net just swings away if they try that. I did figure out a way to get the hay in more easily is to put the ring at the bottom of the net against the bundle of hay I am trying to load. Then, I turn the net inside out around the hay, spreading the sides of the net down around the sides of they hay bundle. Not sure if that made sense, but I'm not sure how to expain it. Doing it this way it goes in much more quickly than trying to stuff the hay in the top.

Item #X1-27286 the solid black ones are a little more expensive than the colored ones, I don't know why. Google Dover saddlery or doversaddlery.com will get you to the web site, then put "hay net" into the search box. I didn't want to go with the pricey hay bag some of you mentioned because I know my Tunix would destroy it. Yes it is a little difficult to get the hay in, but I don't mind, I'd rather save the bucks.
