Three steps to ensure a smooth transition to using the hay net daily:

Gradually reduce the amount of hay provided to your horse, especially if you haven't previously weighed it. Rapid weight loss isn't healthy for a horse.
Initially, pull out a few strands of hay partially from the net, allowing your horse to get used to pulling them out in this manner. If your horse isn't accustomed to a hay net, it's advisable to keep an eye on him to prevent him from becoming too frustrated with the small holes.
Increase your horse's access time to the hay net gradually. Start with short intervals and progressively extend them as your horse becomes more comfortable using the net. This gradual approach helps prevent frustration and ensures a smooth transition to using the hay net regularly.

According to research, 1 out of 3 horses is overweight. Feeding hay in a hay net with a small mesh size is a good way to control food intake and keep your horse busy. It's beneficial for their mental health, stomach, and body weight management.

We recommend to divide the daily recommended amount of hay over 2 to 3 meals per day. Ensure your horse is never without hay or roughage for longer than 4 to 6 hours.

How much hay should I feed my horse?

Overweight Horse

Feed about 1.5% of body weight as hay (dry matter*) per day, split into at least 3 meals.

Ideal weight — Amount of hay at 80% dry matter

150 kg — 2.8 kg
250 kg — 4.7 kg
350 kg — 6.6 kg
450 kg — 8.4 kg
550 kg — 10.3 kg
650 kg — 12.2 kg

*Hay contains roughly 80–90% dry matter.

Ideal Body Weight

Feed about 2% of body weight as hay (dry matter*) per day, split into at least 3 meals.

Ideal weight — Amount of hay at 80% dry matter

150 kg — 3.8 kg
250 kg — 6.2 kg
350 kg — 8.8 kg
450 kg — 11.2 kg
550 kg — 13.8 kg
650 kg — 16.2 kg

*Hay contains roughly 80–90% dry matter.

Less waste, cleaner environment

Keeps hay contained and off the floor, reducing wastage and helping keep the stable tidier.

Supports stable digestion

By slowing intake and promoting more frequent chewing, it supports stomach and gut health.

Knot-free design, gentle on lips and teeth

The knotless soft mesh is gentle on the mouth and teeth.

Encourages slower eating and chewing

Small mesh openings slow eating, extending chew time and natural foraging.

Guidelines for feeding roughage to your horse

Feeding Frequency

Ensure that your horse is never without roughage for longer than 6 to 8 hours. This means dividing the amount of hay into 2 to 3 feedings per day.

Mesh Size

If you want to extent the feeding time, the mesh size of the hay net should not be larger than 4 cm.

Hay Quantity

Weigh the hay; a horse needing to lose weight should receive 1.5% of its body weight in hay, while a horse with a healthy weight should receive 2% of its body weight.

Transition Protocol

Feed transitions should always occur gradually. When introducing a new batch of hay, it is advisable to mix batches for 5 days.

Diet Risk

NEVER put your horse on a strict diet without hay or roughage, as this can lead to liver fat accumulation, which can be fatal.

Position Hay Net

Hang the hay net low enough so that your horse can eat with its head lower than its withers. Make sure your horse can't get tangled in the net. Variation in position is crucial; feeding at different points and in different ways allows your horse to vary its eating posture.

What to Feed Your Mare Before, During and After Pregnancy 

by Valerie De Clerck on Jan 23 2026

A veterinarian’s practical guide to fertility, gestation and lactation  Breeding a mare is never “just” about timing, semen quality, or ultrasound checks. One of the most overlooked (and most fixable) pieces is whether your mare’s diet and body condition match what her body needs at each stage. Research consistently links body condition and key nutrient balance with reproductive efficiency and healthy pregnancy outcomes. (Henneke et al., 1984; Morley & Murray, 2014)
