Cut back on costs, save money
and reduce hay wastage by 46%!
Hay nets stop gorging, only allowing a few strands of your hay to be eaten at once and not huge mouthfuls.
Slow feeder hay nets simulate grazing, improving your horses’ physical and mental health - horses are supposed to eat 18-20 hours a day.
Hay nets slow down hay consumption rate and replicate your horses’ natural grazing pattern.
Fantastic nets!! We have a fair few horses and filling nets was a nightmare! Changed to these and now putting hay out is a breeze! We have them in their night yards and in all paddocks!
The gutzbusta hay nets are great for the big heavy horses you can easily fit half a bale of hay in them and they don’t kick it all around the stable which I love.
Very happy With my large slow feeder hay net it saves wastage and therefore money
There's nothing worse than a flimsy floppy hay net. Trying to fill it up and the biscuit breaks apart and you end up with a pile of hay on the ground. I just received three of the knotless small feeders. They are brilliant. Sturdy enough to allow you to fill them easily and the red draw rope makes it even easier to fill. They fit three biscuits of hay and it keeps my horses standing and eating for the day. Even my gutsy mare that is in foal and always ravenous. It slows her down and prevents her from scoffing her food. They are great quality and even stand up to the 100 ml of rain that we had over the weekend. The nets were out in the constant rain for three days and didnt get heavy, floppy or lose shape. Great product and will definitely buy some more.
TLDR: they are 100% worth the money, I'm seeing less wastage, and not having to fill it as often. My horse can graze on it, instead of eating it all super fast and wasting or dropping half of it. Good enrichment for him as well, and keeps him out of the rain while still able to graze
I have been around GutzBusta haynets before, however never used/ owned one myself until recently. As we all know, hay is becoming scarcer and scarcer due to the Victorian droughts. I myself was in a position of buying hay 10x more expensive than this time last year. It's been very hard, and have had to find ways to combat wastage, as every stalk counts. I considered the GB haynets for a while, and finally bit the bullet to spend the little bit extra money for them, based on what I'd seen/ read about them. I used their handy guide to find what would suit me/ my horse best, and went for the 3cm holes, and a medium size so i wasn't having to fill it so often.
Wow. thats all i have to say. not only am i having to fill it less often, I'm also seeing almost no wastage (apart from the grass seeds that fall through the bottom - but prior to using these haynets, i was losing the equivalent of 1/5 of a square bale/ per bale used, which is definitely not ideal!) He eats it much slower, meaning the hay in the net is lasting longer, and I'm not going through my bales as fast as i was. I'm also able to secure them on tree branches in a way that theyre free-hanging, so that also slows him down.
I whole heartedly can say that these are worth the money. I am not sponsored, nor being asked to write this review - as someone who relies on reviews to know if a product is worth buying, i thought it would put my honest thoughts out there for someone who is the same as me. I will definitely be buying more in the future, should I ever need to.
Great product, very study and save a heap with less wasted hay
Great project. Horse is loving the larger holes and not wasting hay
Really happy with both knotless and knotted nets. I have 3 and all easy to use. My mare tends to rip them up and she hasn’t broken these ones yet.
I recently bought 2 haynets from gutzbuster for my horses, and so far they seem good quality and are very easy to open and fill compared to other haynets.
I also bought a full round bale net last year and it’s held up really well.
We had 4 of the large nets and have just purchased another 4 for use in other paddocks as they work so well.
I wish I could attach a photo, the last time I feels out a round (in a hay ring) it was gone in 3 weeks, iv had this round in the 4cm knotless for 3 weeks and they are only about 1/3 of the way through it, if that, big win in my book and I'll definitely be purchasing another one soon!
We brought a medium knotless hay net with the 40mm x 40mm squares and couldn’t be more happier. The net is so big I reckon you could easily fit a square bale and more! The quality of net feels soft but very durable at the same time. The horse loves it!
Love the haysaver. Cut down my hay usage by 30 per cent by reducing wastage.
Love the weight and generous size of the large round hay net. Got the extra small hole size and horses worked out quickly how to use it. No waste hay on ground.
Reduces incidence of stomach ulcers and colic:
Constant chewing allows sodium bicarbonate to be released in the horse's saliva therefore reducing risk of stomach ulcers by reducing the amount of HCI in the horse's stomach.
Great for Laminitic, IR, Cushings Horses:
With hay available all the time, there is no insulin spike. Allows free choice/ low carbohydrate hay access all the time. Pasture hay is usually the best (but not ryegrass or clover hay).
