Description
xDerby Originals 90-inch X-Large Slow Feed Hay Bale Net is designed to transform how you feed hay to horses and other grazing animals. Built to hold 1–2 full bales, this oversized net balances generous portions with a controlled, steady delivery. The design prioritizes comfort for the animal while delivering efficiency for handlers, making it a practical addition to busy barns.
Rethink feeding with slow, steady forage
The net keeps hay off the ground, helping reduce spoilage and waste while delivering bite-sized portions that mimic natural grazing. This approach can support cleaner feed and more deliberate intake, which many barn managers find easier to manage during busy days. By extending grazing-like behavior, you may see more calm feeding routines and less hurried dining at the rack.
- Prevents hay waste by keeping feed elevated and contained, aiding feed utilization and reducing cleanup time.
- Promotes measured eating to support natural grazing patterns and a calmer feeding routine.
- Helps keep hay orderly in stalls or turnouts with less ground contamination and easier management.
- Designed for durability with rip- and tear-resistant poly rope that remains flexible for daily use.
Durable, horse-friendly design
- The sturdy rope construction withstands daily use, group feeding, soaking, or trailering without obvious wear.
- Material choices balance safety and comfort, making it comfortable for your horse to eat from over long periods.
- Two common sizes accommodate different setups: 57 inches for smaller groups or typical stalls, and 90 inches for larger loads (a bale and a half).
Practical usage in real-world settings
Use indoors or outdoors, for single-horse pens or shared turnout. It’s well-suited for soaking hay when moisture control is needed, and it travels with you for trips or trailer rides, helping maintain feeding routines on the road.
What to expect
Benefits described here reflect the product’s design and user experiences. Real results depend on management and feeding schedules. Slow-feeding approaches align with natural grazing patterns and may support more consistent forage intake.
With Derby Originals, you can choose a feeding tool that aligns with your barn’s rhythm—helping you convert larger portions into thoughtful, steady nourishment rather than a single, quick intake.
