For many horses, a controlled calorie intake also means less time spent eating, which impacts on digestive health and general well-being. As horses are designed for multiple meals per day, using a small holed haynet is an easy way of working towards a more natural feeding pattern for your horse or pony, whilst carefully reducing the amount eaten in a 24-hour period. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFAQ’s: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCan I soak hay in it? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes. The haynet mesh does not absorb water which makes it lighter for lifting soaked hay and less prone to smelly bacteria forming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is the benefit of knotless hay nets? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditional nets are believed to cause damage to horses’ teeth with the knots. Being knotless, the horse can grab at the forage with less chance of grabbing the net as well. This also means that the net can last longer and potentially save money in the long-term. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy don’t the mesh sizes go smaller than 3cm? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe found in testing that smaller than 3cm mesh sizes made very little difference to the feed rate, and made some horses display frustration behaviours, and some even stopped trying to eat from the hay net. We found the 3cm is the perfect size to balance this reduction in feed rate, without frustrating the horse. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Equilibrium","offers":[{"title":"4kg","offer_id":62938661716355,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6kg","offer_id":62938661749123,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8kg","offer_id":62938661781891,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12kg","offer_id":62938661814659,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/4374\/files\/Equilibrium-portion-pacer-haynet.jpg?v=1792497583","url":"https:\/\/www.chobhamrider.com\/products\/equilibrium-portion-pacer-haynet","provider":"Chobham Rider","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
