• How to choose the mesh size?

It is important to choose an appropriate mesh size based on how you intend to use your net. You need to consider the size of the hay strands and your horse’s eating habits. Smaller mesh sizes (approximately 3 to 50 cm) slow down hay consumption, promoting slower and more consistent feeding, which is beneficial for digestion. Larger mesh sizes (over 6 cm) are suitable for horses that do not have issues with gorging and require a higher hay flow. You can find more information here.
