Hey, for horses, grazing is life!
Horses need constant access to hay, as it is the basis of their diet. Hay helps them digest and prevents stomach problems. In addition, horses eat all day long, so constant chewing of hay keeps them busy and happy, which prevents boredom and bad habits.

Is my horse overweight?
Horses gain weight when they consume more energy from feed than they expand through physical activity. To help a horse lose weight, it needs a diet rich in essential nutrients but low in calories. Planning such a diet can be challenging.
4 hours without hay, why so short?
A horse’s stomach holds only about 8-15 liters and it takes between 4 and 6 hours to completely empty it.. After this time, digestion continues regardless of whether there is food in the stomach. This causes ulcers in the stomach and intestines.
Hay nets- not only for horses
Cattle hay nets are a practical and effective tool with numerous benefits for both animals and farmers. Key advantages include improved feed efficiency, reduced waste, and easier management. They also promote better digestion and can save time and money in feed management.
Emotions- higher level of comunication
Horses have a very rich social life. Awareness of the emotional state of pack members plays a very important role. So it’s time to accept that our emotions have an impact on horses. Very big influence.
Let me introduce my products
The first hay nets were sewn for my own horses. Since then, going by your tips, several new types have been created.
Hay Bag with a fabric bottom
Roomy hay bag made from durable, weather-resistant fabric. Holds up to 30 kg of hay. Custom sizes available.
Square Hay Net – Black
The hay net is made of 6mm knotless, weather-resistant fabric. Drying after rain extends its life. It slows down hay consumption, promoting horse health and reducing waste. Ideal for stalls, pastures, and transport. It also helps keep the stable tidy by minimizing hay waste
Waterproof Hay Bag
The hay bag is ideal for stalls and paddocks, promoting natural eating and reducing health issues. Available in sizes 120×100 cm or 100×80 cm. Made from 5mm knotless, waterproof yarn, it minimizes waste and mess. The 4cm mesh is safe for teeth and reduces hay loss. Easy to fill, transport, and machine washable. N
Hay Bag for ground feeding
The hay bag is perfect for stalls and paddocks, helping horses eat naturally while reducing waste. Available in sizes M (60×60 cm), W (80×80 cm), and XL (80×120 cm). Made from strong, knotless polypropylene with a 4 cm mesh, it’s waterproof, easy to fill, and machine washable. Ears in the corners allow for easy attachment.
Cost Savings on Feed
One of the primary benefits of using feeders and hay nets is their ability to significantly reduce hay waste. Traditional feeding methods often result in a large amount of hay being wasted, either because it is trampled, soiled, or scattered around the stall or paddock.
Preventing Sudden Dietary Changes
Colic can also be triggered by sudden changes in diet or feeding routine. Feeders and hay nets help maintain a consistent feeding pattern by ensuring that hay is available in controlled portions throughout the day. This steady supply prevents abrupt dietary shifts and helps keep the digestive system functioning smoothly.
Minimizing Hay Waste
Feeders and hay nets significantly contribute to maintaining a cleaner stable by minimizing hay waste. When hay is simply placed on the ground or in an open manger, it often gets trampled, soiled, or scattered, leading to unnecessary waste and a messier stable environment.
Large hay bale hay net
Hay bale net is made of high-quality, knotless polypropylene yarn, 4 mm thick, which ensures exceptional durability and resistance to weather conditions. The mesh openings are 4 cm, which is ideal for controlled hay feeding.
Simple hay net
This hay net is made of 6mm thick knotless polypropylene yarn with 4 cm mesh. Custom sizes are available, and it includes ropes for attachment. Weather-resistant and UV-stable, it lasts longer if dried after rain. For horse safety, position nets to minimize ground contact.
Safe obstacle stands
The equestrian jumping obstacle is a professionally designed and manufactured training tool, perfect for both beginner riders and experienced competitors. It was created with the safety of horses and comfort of use in mind.
Hay Feeders
The SLOW FEED net allows animals to eat at a more natural pace, without hastily eating the entire contents of the feeder. The special, thickest 5 mm yarn on the market is adapted to the teeth of horses and other large farm animals.
Words from Our Clients
Super strong hay nets, possibility of personalization and choice of all versions. My horses use a cushion and a fabric bag in the box and a pillow in the paddock.
Edyta Krawiec
Mega fast shipping. Professional help at every stage. The net is very durable and does not get dirty too quickly. It works perfectly both on the paddock and during transport in a trailer. Large holes allowed the steed to eat hay from it, which had never used the net before. Reinforcements on the side walls of the net add strength and aesthetics. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs any type of net. I love it ❤️😍
We have been using 3 different nets for 3 months now and we highly recommend them. Very solidly made!
We have a net with a bottom, a large cushion and a net for a bale. They were made within the time specified on the website 🙂
We are very pleased and highly recommend them!
