Very tiny holed large haynet? Is there one???

[Spyda]

I am currently using two of these extra large small holed haynets (one inside the other) to slow my filly up at night -http://www.thesaddleryshop.co.uk/P/Small_Holed_Haynets-(709).aspx but she's still managing to get through her 10kg nightly ration far too quickly.
Sadly, I'm not able to suspend her net from the ceiling as she's kept inside a very high roofed barn and she's a very good-doer so I don't want to increase her forage ration. Infact, I'd really like to be able to drop her down to 8Kg/day. I keep her at a livery yard and am the last down in the evenings (I leave at about 7pm) so there's no one I can ask to pop another haynet in later on.

Soooo.....

Does anyone know if anyone manufactures a really tiny holed haynet? But one still big enough to take 4 thick slices at a time?

Or know of any other way I can slow her down during the night

I use these for my lami shetland. They are long and thin and really take some stuffing and therefore slow down eating but you'd need a couple for your amount of slices. They are really very good!

Someone at my yard doubles up her very small holed haynets to make it last for her lami pony.

I have just bought one of these and its brilliant. Barely any wasted haylage on the floor and pony is happy picking away at it through the night.

Another vote here for the Shires ones- I have some- they are large nets with the small holes and you can fit plenty of haylage in them.

Shires do a red and black one, if you fill it to the max you'll stuggle to carry it and it will be bigger than you lol, so it's big enough put it that way, all people will see a hug hay net walking across the yard.

One of the livery yards up the roads use them in every stable, its the only large (with small holes) hard wearing hay net they will use, last for years.

Loved mine, till it went missing

I have the large miser haynet from this company ! its Fab! its the only haynet my horse has never chewed through !

I've had the large miser haynet for about 10 years.

Can't remember where I got it from, but its great and appart from a new rope at the top this winter its still going strong.

I bought a few of these nets but then found them too heavy once the hay was soaked so I've gone back to using 2 seperate nets.

OP you could try triple netting and putting one string through 3 nets if you know what I mean !

I had to do it when my horse had lami few years back

I used to use the shires small holed hay net and double net. I now use the Eliminet, they are brilliant. I bought 4 pony sized ones as these have the smallest holes and she has them soaked and hung around her stable.

I've ordered a couple of the Large Elim a Net nets. I'll probably double one of these up with my regular small-holed net and see how we get along.

Mind you, I can't win. I bet if I make it too hard for her to pull the hay out she'll just give up and eat her bed instead

Are these the Parell nets? If so wish I'd posted sooner I tried a couple of them last year. Both of them distorted within a fortnight making huge holes big enough to stick a foot through not to mention eat in double quick time. Wasn't impressed and sent them back saying so, they did refund my money ok though. I just use the Shires biggest ones now.

Eliminet.

And try mixing a little straw into her hay - a 1/3 of straw would give her a huge amount more to eat whilst giveing no extra calories. If you have an indoor hay area you could fluff up and mix well one leaf of straw with three leaves of hay then fill haynets for the next couple of days.

I've often fed straw to fat ponies/horses needing enough forage but no moe calories. They don't like it particularly but they will eat it in small quantaties and it keeps them occupied, picking out the nice bits And as long as they have enough to drink (and aren't eating just straw) they don't colic.
