Other than that it sounds fantastic! A smaller size net (the holes) would probably make it last longer, but that might make the weight loss a problem for some horses. I have a hay ring with chicken wire around it (to keep the goats out) so the horses can only eat over the top of it (not through it like cows... it's not a horse hay ring). When they get it eaten down to where they can't reach what is in the middle I fork the rest into a hay feeder (that is raised off the ground for square bales) and put out a new bale. It works really well. During the coldest part of winter they are eating a bale a week! Ugh! I can't wait until summer!!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018802758633260688.post-61396697358420277252015-11-17T10:44:19.394-08:002015-11-17T10:44:19.394-08:00sounds like it's working pretty well! my farm ...sounds like it's working pretty well! my farm uses round bale hay nets too - with the added barrier of a bale ring, and that's been the de facto approach for a few years now. emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.com
