Pictures Haynet Revelation!!!

[Shysmum]

Found these at our local tack store. A self opened rigid haynet. You just hold it with one hand and put the slice of hay in through the opening with the other. When it's full, pull the cord, and the top closes over, to form a tent style haynet. Fantastic! I bought two, €20 each, but found them on Amazon too. A total revalation, as haynets are my worst job. 2 inch holes.

You literally hold the ring, put the hay in, then pull the cord ! ?

Is that an xlarge? It doesn’t look very big.

I couldn't bring myself to pay £40 for a haynet, but that's given me ideas about cable tying a hoola hoop to the ones I've got!

Mine is a medium, but you can get large from Amazon ( gives the measurement).

I'm lucky they are only €20 here in France, and hubs treated me as he knows it's my very worst job !

Wait till you discover double ended clips to replace pony knots and freezing finger tips

Please elaborate, this sounds like something I need to do

you put the one side of the double end to the metal tie ring. Tie up net as usual then clip the loop of the tie to the other side of the metal clip.

That never occurred to me! Excellent idea - I can repurpose the clip on my Idolo (which my horse just walks out of)

Hmmm: you don't even need to cable tie - just open the hula hoop at the join, thread the pipe through the holes, and join the ends with a short piece of rubber hose of the right diameter (or re-use the joining piece from the hula hoop). I know this because I've been using hula hoops to make crinoline skirts for yonks

Just watch that the horse doesn't get a lip stuck in the clip - I've seen nasty injuries....

I would like to see one before I bought one, I’m not sold on the idea of metal clips I’ve seen a horse with one through it’s bottom lip, I like to get mine pretty high up so they don’t get their legs through them although the horses I have at the moment don’t have any stable habits at all . I only realised a few years back that the small ring attached on the bottom of the traditional hay nets are for putting the tie rope through then you pull up high and tie up with quick release knot I’ve always just put it through half way down so much better with using the small ring at the bottom as long as I don’t cram it too full that I can’t even lift it.
i use one full hay net and a nice big pile in the corner I’m lucky my horses are very tidy and don’t poo or pee on hay, or pull hay around just stand eating it probably all night.
