Hay Nets!

[Sobriquet]

Hi all, can anyone please recommend 'tougher' hay nets (i.e something that is going to put up with a bit more punishment that the cheaper versions). Looking for bright colours as sometimes gets mixed up with everyone elses at the yard. Many thanks for all your constructive inputs

I have been using Shires and they are quite tough but after a while my girl does rip them. I bought some Elim-a-nets last year and they seem to be still going strong, mind you my nets do get soaked everyday too.

My nets get soaked every day, I use the shires ones they are great, long lasting, my horse rarely breaks them, recently bought some bright green and bright blue ones so I know which ones are mine, wish they would make some different colours, shocking pink, yellow, dunno something different than red, green, black lol

I use Shires for my too "hooligans" as I call them and they last for years I think I have one which is about 7/8 years old and has not been trashed

Another vote for shires ones. Great colours aswell.

What is a hay ball?

Mine are Shires too. Cottage Craft are also rather good and a bit bigger.

On reflection, what she ^^^ said! I'd like a hayrack.

They're great unless your horse bolts all their hay in one go, unfortunately like mine I'm happy for him to have ad lib as it's the only thing he eats, but he can scoff a full rack in the blink of an eye! Why oh why did I get a Connie xx

Get a hay bag....they are brilliant!

Mine have the very small holed nets so that they are nibbling for hours instead of scoffing their hay in an hour or so.

Mine seem to be doing OK - TBH they are so cheap I just bin them if they get ripped.
