The Slow Bale Buddy is the safest, best quality small mesh hay feeder on the market today. The only one with a one year warranty, it is the perfect solution for feeding horses round and square bales of all sizes. Unlike cheaper small mesh net feeders that are made out of poly or a poly blend that can cause wear on the teeth and muzzle, Slow Bale Buddy’s are made out 100% knotless nylon netting. Nylon is the strongest and softest of the netting materials, and will ensure that you get many years out of your hay feeder while not compromising your animals health and well being.

The netting has 1 1/2 inch openings, all seams are double surged and reinforced with a double stitched, nylon binding. The net fastens with a special patented safety fastener that eliminates the dangerous drawstring closures of other small mesh slow feeders. Once fastened, it completely encloses the bale so that the animals must pull the hay through the holes in the netting to eat.  Waste is completely eliminated and aggressive and anxious animals are calmed by having to graze and forage for their hay. Overweight animals will walk away from the hay without overeating, helping to normalize weight. Because grazing is always on the surface of the bale it is excellent for feeding horses with breathing problems. Slow feeding benefits most animals and is the most natural way to feed hay.
