Partrade Ultra Slow Feeder Hay Net

I loved these nets, been buying them for years and they’ve lasted! Let me explain, when they first came out they were strong, nice size and only cost $14.99! I had several but like anything time wears on them! So time came to replace, (after several years of use) well worth the money spent and saved! Bought a new one to replace an older one that was worn out, money is tight, hay is going up, price for net was $39/$29/$49 😳and I cringed. If I get 5 yrs out of it I will be happy, but it isn’t as nice as the first ones, thin! Not tight, holes stretched! We’ll I came to but another 1 $49, price jumped again! 😳😔🤔Update: Hole and I’ve only had this 1 since Mar! 🤦‍♀️😡!!!!

I've had a few of these nets for 5yrs and they've been through all weather. They don't get wet and freeze like some of the more expensive brands and are just as durable. The size is great and they are easier to fill than some others because you can fold over the top and it stays more open.

this definitely slowed my horse down, he would get almost frustrated with how slow he had to eat this. but then he would rip the netting and make big holes in it. so I took zip ties and closed off the holes, eventually I ran out of actual netting and it was mostly zip tied. but for the month or two before he started ripping, it worked really well!!

I ordered two of these hay nets in black.The description says they are 40 inches but both of mine measured about 32. The average length of the straight alfalfa bales that I feed my horses is between 45-48 inches. This bag will hold about a third of a bale if I tip the bale on end and slide the bag down over it as far as possible. I then lay the bale down, cut the twine, separate the bale and tie the bag. Though I am disappointed that the bag is not longer the quality is quite good. The holes in the mesh are 1 inch as the description says and both the bag itself and the tie rope are nice and sturdy. It is a good buy for the price and it does slow down my horses eating quite a bit. They had Tough 1 hay nets with two inch holes previously and though the nets are great they didn't slow them down enough. If Tough 1 made a whole bale sized net with 1 inch mesh I would have bought it in a second but since I couldn't find that these are a good option.

What a nice Ultra Slow Feeder Hay Net! Well made and durable. The openings were the perfect size for our miniature horse. A great product.

The weave of this feeding net is very small and very loose. Stretches and not consistent. Frustrated our horses, too small. None of the knots that create the weave are tied tight and will create future issue...

Finally, a hay net that keeps my horse busy for half a day! For a "normal" horse, it would probably last all day. But my mustang can somehow empty this net in about 3 hours. Nonetheless, it is a true slow-feed net, which slows down the eating process (to more closely resemble grazing) and keeps more of the hay off the ground.Points I like about this net:- Openings are only 1 inch, so your horse will have to work to get the hay out (which is a good thing, in my opinion.)- Strong nylon string at top for tying. I tie and untie it twice a day, and have used it for about three months with no fraying or weakening of the string.- Strong netting. Even with constant use, I haven't seen any breakage of the netting so far.- Large size. I can fit 4 flakes of hay in it with room to spare.

This net sold by etopso is not the same net I got from them last year. The one from last year was just like the description, large and held 5-6 flakes. I just reordered the net, the description was for the same large 5-6flake net, yet what showed up was a tiny net that would barely hold 2 flakes yet I paid the same price....the misleading selling practices or sloppy filling of orders is not acceptable. The net I got last year held up ok but the reason I was replacing it was the horse had put some pretty large holes in it. But overall it was good enough to buy again but the tiny size of the net I was sent rendered it pretty much useless as my horse needs a net to hold 2 days worth of hay and this net won't do that
