Description
My personal favorite way to feed hay nets is in containers. I’ve put together visual notes on how we created our hay containers, including both tubs and tires! We LOVE our tire feeders, and use them as their primary feed stations a majority of the time. After 15 years of boarding at 9+ different places, I have a general idea of different setups available – and hay nets can be utilized in all of them, I’m sure of it!
What’s Included: 20+ pages filled with Pictures & Info, Customizable Concepts, and details about the hardware & parts we use. Lifetime access to revised or updated versions of this guide as we create more, too!
Who Can Use These?
There is a way to utilize hay nets for just about any horse, in any situation. Whether you board or have your horses at home! Even if you cannot utilize a fully 24/7 feeding program, you can still improve your horse’s situation with hay nets. Using containers means you can even create a safe feeding setup for your shod horse.
You’ll find this useful:
- If you board your horse in a stall, paddock or pasture
- If you keep your horses at home
- When you travel with your horse
- For 24/7 feeding or to extend daily meals
How Difficult is it?
Building these requires only basic handiness. You will need a drill, but that is the only real tool that is required. I don’t break down creating these into crazy detailed instructions, but rather show you clear photos of all the different points that you need to think about, with information about how we have gotten them to work so well.
You can use a wide variety of containers, and apply these same principles for quick success!
