Feeding horses with a slow feed net is best practice for many reasons!

 

Horses were built to graze. As we keep them in stables and/or small fields, it is good practice to provide them with their natural needs in mind. Most horse owners do not have 100’s of acres for their horses to roam free, walking and eating for 20 hours a day.

 

Naturally stimulating a horses brain and digestive track with a slow feed hay net can be the next best thing!

 

The digestive track of a horse needs a steady flow of forage to maintain balance. A horse that goes without feeding for a period of time each day (even a few hours) will be more exposed to ulcers, colic, behavioural issues, weaving, aggressive behaviour, choking or cribbing.
