Grazing nets?

[stargirl88]

Anyone used one?

Just read about them, pretty expensive (60 for a large one, ouch!!), but I'd consider investing if they were any good!

Not seen them before, I like the theory but not the price!! I like to make my haynets up for the week at the weekend: that's 5 small nets and 5 large ones minimum!!

I have often wondered about how to restrict hay but maintain feeding from the floor. I wondered if installing a hay bar with a tie ring at the bottom (either on the floor or low down on the wall inside the haybar) and tying a normal haynet into a haybar would do the trick. I haven't tried it as I considered haybars expensive - but compared to these, might be a bargain!

Gosh! Sixty blimmin quid???? That's hellish expensive, even worse than the "trickle net" which sells for £30 apparently.

Would I buy one? Well........ I have two horses, so you don't need a Maths degree to figure out that's gonna be way too expensive for the 99% of horse owners.

I like the idea but that's a lot of money!

I reckon one could be made quite easily at home though

I've used a double haylage net tied up tight with the string tucked inside to feed from the floor very successfully.

Way to expensive and I am not sure they wouldnt get thrown under or over the fencing further encouraging my naughty pony to lean on the electric wire trying to reach it she has a habit of falling through the fence to get to grub. What I need is an invention that allows you to feed like that but can be tethered safely to the floor and less than a tenner each

Indeed, I don't know how they justify that price! but I do like it because it moves about, rather than just having the horse stand in one spot munching.

I might have to just be creative and do something else!
