Shires Greedy Feeder Colour-Twist Hay Net

Help your horse enjoy forage for longer with the Shires Greedy Feeder Colour-Twist Hay Net. Designed with small mesh openings to encourage slower feeding, this durable hay net helps reduce waste, supports healthy digestion and provides horses with a more natural eating experience.

Made from strong, hard-wearing cord in an attractive colour-twist design, this hay net is ideal for everyday use in the stable, field shelter, trailer or horsebox. The smaller holes encourage horses and ponies to take smaller mouthfuls, helping to extend feeding time, reduce boredom and support digestive health by promoting a steadier intake of forage.
