How to Consume Hay Sustainably?
Horses are natural grazers, spending much of their day on pasture, munching on grass or eating hay. In the wild, horses continuously consume small amounts of food, which is beneficial for their sensitive digestive system. However, when horses are fed in stables or horse trailers, it can be challenging to support this natural eating behavior. This is where specially designed hay nets come in handy, allowing horses to eat hay slowly and continuously. Not only is this soothing for the animals, but it also reduces the risk of stomach problems caused by an empty stomach. In addition to slow feeding hay nets, hay balls offer a more playful way to feed horses. A hay ball is great for both the paddock and the stall.

- Supports natural eating behavior in horses
