This message is from: Silja Knoll Hi, this grazer looks great, but I have had a horse that kicks stall walls and she would have destroyed this thing in a single night. Love the idea!!

haynets
This message is from: Ulrike Schnabl I have experimented with slow feeder haynets for a while now. This is what I found: Out of my 4 Fjords only one is ok on a haynet, the rest simply still ate way too much.They are systematic vacuum cleaners.The one that can handle it is a young stallion, different metabolism I guess. I bought a hockey goal net from Canadian Tire for appr. $25. I had it for 2 seasons now and it is still in perfect shape.It holds about a 65lb bale. I would strongly disagree with a dangling position however,as this can wear down teeth in an unnatural way. I put my net into an old bathtub where it can be easily secured.I recently stumbled upon a slow feeder option for large round bales on the internet.That might be just the ticket for some horses.The cost was around $180.
