How it works!
Installation as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Roll your round bale to its normal location in the pen or pasture.
2. Throw the Texas Hay Net as if it were a "fishing net" over the top of your 5' to 6' round bale with the drawstring fully widened.
3. Tighten the Texas Hay Net via the draw string along the bottom and secure to your hay ring.
Note, we strongly recommend that hay rings are solid to the ground for shod horses to prevent them from catching their shoe in the net-this concerns only shod animals. Not recommended for horned animals, e.g. Texas Long Horns, horned Sheep or Goats, etc.

Suitable for your entire herd!
Concerned the different horses you're feeding will consume too much while others won't get enough? When free feeding or in typical pasture situations, the body will take what it needs and discards what it doesn't provided the digestive system is working properly.
The Texas Hay Net will slow down fast and aggressive eaters allowing their systems to adjust to a more normal rate of consumption. It will keep them occupied longer and will aide in preventing boredom and vices. It is also an ideal situation for insulin resistant horses. Additionally, the Texas Hay Net will allow timid animals to feed alongside more aggressive one's, keeping the aggressor "working for" their food while allowing the timid animal to get the nutrition they need. The Texas Hay Net is an ideal tool to reduce "hay bellies" and allow thinner horses to put on the weight they need at a healthier rate.
We rehabbed the two horses below together feeding ONLY hay fed through a 1.75 inch holes. The emaciated yearling filly gained 167 pounds in 33 days. The fat mini lost 105 pounds in 5 months (and still had another 50 or 60 pounds to go when he returned home).
No extra exercise or additional supplements were used for either equine, just a round bale of coastal hay with a Texas Hay Net over it .

Case Study 1:
Emaciated "Rescue Horse"
Meet Punzi (short for Rapunzel). The local Sheriff's deputy brought her to Little Thunder Stables for rehabilitation on behalf ofBluebonnet Equine Humane Society. She was wormed,but then received quality coastal hay fed through a small hole. In 33 days she gained 167 pounds!!

Case Study 2
Obese Mini "Dazzle"
Dazzle upon arrival was 550 pounds. Dazzle 5 months later trimmed down to 445 pounds eating only coastal hay through a Texas Hay Net. Someone commented: "that's a different horse...see..the legs are longer in the second photo!" It's the same mini!
