Derby Originals Go Around Hanging Slow Feed Horse Hay Bag
Hay in the Round. An excellent alternative to metal hay feeders, this net can be used to feed multiple horses while promoting digestive health.
What We Liked:
It’s rare to see a hay net that can be used to feed a group of horses in the field (360 degrees for the win!), let alone one that is designed for slow feeding (great for horses who are prone to digestive issues, who bolt their feed, or who waste their hay). This net’s sturdy construction and fun colors are also noteworthy—as is the six-month warranty. Get yours now.

Sometimes the basics are still the best. It’s hard to go wrong with this traditional hay net’s heavy cotton construction. And of course it can be tied in the stall, the trailer—you name it. We also like its generous 42″ size; that’s a whole lot of net without breaking the bank. Available here.
