Slow-Feed Hay Net with Small Holes — Horse Grazing & Feeding Enrichment

When hay disappears in a few quick bites, a horse spends the rest of the day idle — and idle stable hours are where boredom and stress take hold. A horse's body and mind are made for slow, near-constant grazing.

This is Feeding enrichment: a slow-feed hay net with small, even holes that meter out each mouthful, so your horse has to nibble patiently and grazes at a natural, drawn-out pace. Slowing intake supports steady forage time and a calmer, more occupied horse through the day. EnrichCove curates specialist feeding gear to a science-backed standard, so your horse can thrive on the unhurried rhythm it was built for.

• Evenly spaced small holes meter hay into small mouthfuls
• Holds a full flake of hay or haylage
• Knotted, hard-wearing netting for daily stable use
• Hangs in a stall, paddock, or trailer
• For horses and ponies

A net your horse grazes at freely — patient nibbling that settles the day.

How do I introduce it to a fast eater?

For a horse used to bolting its hay, start with larger portions in the net so it doesn't get frustrated, then let it settle into the slower pace over a few days. Hang it high enough to keep hooves clear of the netting, check it often for wear, and consult your equine vet if your horse has any intake or dental concerns.
