Description
The benefits to using Trickle Nets continue to amaze us. Saving you so much money on wasted forage and bedding, they also provide your horse with prolonged and controlled access to forage which brings many physical and mental health benefits. Grazing keeps your horse happy, and with a Trickle Net they can graze anywhere.
Each Trickle Net® has been hand stitched in England to provide you with the highest quality most sturdy and robust feeding net available. The nets are made from very strong 4mm rot proof braided polyethylene in black. The hole size is 25mm and the Trickle Net® is large enough to hold 8.5kgs of dry hay. It is very easy to use and also water proof / rot proof so can be submerged for hay soaking.
These nets are super strong, heavy duty and made to do a very specific job. They do take a few weeks to ‘soften up’ and using them regularly will break them in best.
Some horses can take a few days to get used to a Trickle Net. They can’t grab and pull large amounts as they do with other nets. Your horse needs to nibble and pluck, the same method they use when grazing. We advise that you introduce any Trickle Net product beside the usual forage feeding method.
The vast majority of customers report Trickle Nets lasting for years without damage. So we don’t expect your Trickle Net to be damaged easily, we make them as tough as possible! However if your horse does manage to damage the Trickle Net within 6 months of purchase then contact us. We will help with a free repair or free fix up twine.
We don’t sell our nets with a repair kit, as we have faith in the quality and that they will last you and your horse years to come!

Seriously recommend this product. By far the most solid and robust net out there. It slows their feeding down but keeps them busy and happily occupied at the same time. A MUST get.

Great success – just ordering another one!

Totally different to any feeding net I’ve ever seen. It’s a monster of a net, and brilliant at slow feeding. Trickle Nets have transformed my greedy overweight manic food obsessed Irish horse into a sleeker fitter more relaxed chilled out dude. Love them! Just came back for another one :)

Thought it was over priced and still do. However, it is undoubtedly the best hay net that I’ve ever bought. Good volume, incredibly strong. Although I think that its overpriced I’m buying a second net for my other 16.2 pig. I have given in and I have accepted the price as I have not come across a good a net as this anywhere else. The rope could be slightly thinner and about 0.5mt longer. I’ve managed to criticise it! ????Steve

Having purchased my second trickle net have found it to be equally as robust as the first. Quite honestly wouldn’t use another net now having tried these. Have overcome the thick cord by using a karabiner rather than tying a quick release. Will without question purchase a 3rd when the time comes. Hopefully I might get a discount ;)

These are the best hay nets ever. I’ve bought the “Original” Small Hole Hay Net and the Small Bale Hay Net and they keep my 3 hungry hippos…… I mean cobs, busy “grazing” whilst slowing down their consumption rate. They’re extremely strong, very easy to fill and there’s hardly any waste at all. They did seem expensive but they’re worth it, I’ve saved a fortune in hay already in the past few months. I’ve filled them with 50/50 hay and barley straw. Highly recommended products and I won’t use anything else. I’m looking forward to years of use and a slimline hairy cob or two come springtime. One very happy customer, thank you!
