SAVING YOU TIME, MONEY & HAY
SO YOU CAN GO PLAY!
We’ve got lots of helpful tips, guides and videos to help you successfully transition your horses and other farm animals to our slow feed hay nets.
What are the benefits for your animals?
Better for digestion because the smaller netting slows down the amount animals consume at once, and can prevent bloat choke and colic.
Simulates grazing helping to release endorphins from chewing, and keeps hindgut bacterial flora happy and healthy.
Obese horses will eat less but still have access to food all day.
Alleviates the boredom and STRESS that can lead to ulcers, colic in horses, bloat in ruminants AND can stop wood chewing, manure eating, etc.
No more bullying in the herd at feeding time. Calmer animals = happier healthier herds!

Why Choose Handy Hay Nets?
They are affordable and handmade in Canada.
Our seams are hand sewn, which makes them more flexible and longer-lasting — compared to machine sewn seams.
They are easy to load and tie.
Our tie string comes in many colours, so each animal can have their own, (handy for barns or boarding facilities).
Our netting is made of strong soft nylon, which is very gentle on muzzles.
There aren't any knots on our bags for animals to grab or chew.

Why the texture of hay matters with 0.5” & 1” net hay bags.
Even though I started my horses on 1.5" slow feeder hay nets initially, I found that they could get too much hay, too fast and were bloated and overeating, so I started making my own 1" hole bags.
This is what I learned…
Notice the level of relaxation is the same with grass grazing and eating from a Handy Hay Net.
Watch Kolya make good work of his hay net… he’s a pro!
“The quality of these hay nets has gotten better and better. I have 12 of them. It’s really handy to have all of them filled and then feedings are a snap, just clip the bag and done. If I need to go away for a weekend, I will hang several bags in different locations around the pen for amusement, and the horses are fed until I get home! Love these nets and Marie is pretty awesome too! Love to support local.”
