The Double Mini Slow Bale Buddy, also known as the Weekender, is a premium slow feed hay net designed to hold 2 small square bales or 1 three-string square bale (Texas square).

With capacity for two small square bales, your horse has enough slow-fed hay to last an entire weekend, giving you peace of mind and reducing feeding chores.

The Double Mini Slow Bale Buddy features the same professional-grade construction as all our slow feeders: 100% knotless nylon, double-reinforced seams for exceptional strength, and our patented safety fastener that eliminates dangerous drawstring closures. This is a heavy-duty slow feed hay net built to handle the weight of two bales while maintaining safety and durability.

Versatile Bale Compatibility

The Weekender's versatile design accommodates either 2 small square bales (the most common size) or 1 three-string square bale, also known as a Texas square. This flexibility makes it perfect for different regions and hay suppliers, ensuring you can use it no matter what bale type is available in your area.

Superior Knotless Nylon Material

Crafted from 100% soft woven knotless nylon, the Double Mini Slow Bale Buddy is gentler on your horse's mouth than knotted nets or poly materials. Nylon offers exceptional strength and wear resistance while also providing natural UV protection. The soft material won't cause lip irritation or tooth wear, even with extended daily use.

Double-Reinforced for Heavy-Duty Use

All seams on the Weekender are double-reinforced to handle the additional weight and stress of holding two bales. This extra reinforcement ensures the net maintains its integrity even when fully loaded, providing reliable performance trip after trip, season after season.

Patented Safety Fastener System

Traditional hay nets use drawstring closures that pose serious safety risks, especially with larger capacity nets. The Slow Bale Buddy's patented safety fastener features smooth, rounded edges and is engineered to be strong enough to withstand being stepped on while securely containing two bales of hay. This innovative closure provides complete peace of mind.

Health Benefits of Slow Feeding

Slow feed hay nets provide numerous health advantages:

• Improved digestion and reduced risk of colic
• Better weight management for easy keepers
• Reduced boredom and behavioral problems
• More natural eating patterns similar to grazing
• Extended feeding time keeps horses occupied for days
• Reduced stress and anxiety from food scarcity
• Better dental health through natural chewing motion

Perfect for Travel and Events
