Horse owners looking to reduce hay waste and slow down how fast their horses eat have increasingly turned to slow-feed hay nets, and GutzBusta's Medium Knotless Slow Feed Hay Net is one of the more established options in this category, with the brand citing over 10 years in the hay net business.
The Medium Knotless Hay Net is made from 5mm-thick, high-strength polypropylene netting rated at 240-ply, designed to hold roughly 4-6 biscuits/flakes or 10-12kg (22-26.5lbs) of hay. It measures approximately 38" x 34" and is available in multiple mesh sizes, from a 3/4" "Extreme Slow Feed" opening up to a wider 2-1/2" "Free and Easy" option, letting owners match the net to how quickly they want their horse to eat.
The 3/4" Extreme Slow Feed mesh size is currently listed at $51.50, with other mesh sizes on the same product page priced differently depending on opening size. There's also a "Frequently Bought Together" option that bundles the net with a heavy-duty carabiner clip.
According to the product's review widget, this specific hay net has accumulated 570 reviews, which is a substantial sample size for a niche equestrian product. Reviews on the site reference the net's wide, easy-to-fill mouth opening and its durability for stable and paddock use. As with any aggregated rating, it's worth reading through a range of reviews yourself to see how experiences vary by horse temperament and mesh size chosen.
The brand explicitly cautions against use with shod horses unless the net is elevated or contained in a hay ring, and recommends against use with animals that could get tangled, such as horned livestock. Drawstring color may also vary from product photos due to ongoing manufacturing updates, per the listing's own disclosure.
For horse owners specifically seeking to slow feeding pace and cut down on hay waste, GutzBusta's knotless nets appear to be a well-reviewed, purpose-built option with over a decade of brand history behind them. Check current pricing and mesh size availability on GutzBusta's site.
