This professional-grade equine slow feeder helps control eating speed, almost completely eliminates hay waste and promotes healthier, more natural grazing behavior for horses and hornless livestock.

Premium Quality Slow Feed Hay Net

The Medium Slow Bale Buddy represents the best quality slow feed hay net available on the market. Featuring 100% knotless nylon construction, double-bound seams for exceptional strength, and a patented safety fastener that eliminates dangerous drawstring closures, this slow feeder hay net is engineered for safety, durability, and performance.

The Benefits of Slow Feeding

Slow feed hay nets are essential for promoting optimal health in horses and livestock. By forcing animals to eat more slowly through 1.5-inch openings, these nets mimic natural grazing patterns, which improves digestion, reduces the risk of colic, and helps prevent obesity. Extended feeding time also reduces boredom and associated behavioral problems in stabled or confined animals.

Superior Knotless Nylon Construction

The Medium Slow Bale Buddy is crafted from 100% soft woven knotless nylon, which is significantly gentler on your horse's mouth compared to knotted nets or poly blend materials. Nylon offers exceptional strength and wear resistance while providing natural UV protection for long-term outdoor use. The soft, smooth material won't cause lip irritation or tooth wear, even with continuous daily use.

Patented Safety Fastener System

Traditional slow feed hay nets rely on drawstring closures that pose serious safety risks. Horses can easily catch their hooves in loose drawstrings, leading to panic, injury, or worse. The Slow Bale Buddy's patented safety fastener features smooth, rounded edges and is strong enough to withstand being stepped on. This innovative closure system provides complete peace of mind while securely containing your hay.

Important Safety Information for Shod Horses

If used with shod horses, this slow feeder must be placed behind a solid barrier to prevent horseshoes from getting caught in the netting. This slow feed hay net is completely safe for use with all hornless livestock including unshod horses, cattle, sheep, and goats.

Health and Wellness Benefits

Slow feed hay nets provide numerous health advantages for your horses and livestock:

• Improved digestion and significantly reduced risk of colic
• Better weight management and obesity prevention
• Reduced boredom and elimination of associated behavioral problems
• More natural eating patterns that mimic pasture grazing
• Extended feeding time keeps animals occupied for hours
• Reduced stress and anxiety from food scarcity
• Better dental health through natural chewing motion

Built to Last Season After Season

Every seam on the Medium Slow Bale Buddy is double-bound for maximum strength and longevity. The knotless nylon material resists abrasion from constant use and won't degrade from UV exposure or weather conditions. This slow feed hay net is engineered to withstand the daily demands of hungry horses and livestock, providing reliable performance year after year.
